Well... I did not walk in here. I have been here for a while. I deal 
with alot of standards and try to implement them faithfully. I just was 
upset that what I thought (sorry I skimmed over terms I thought were 
well known... perhaps you shpould use different names?) was standard was 
being overrided. I guess we will simply not support mozilla resizing 
which won't really be a problem for our user base (young girls, in this 
case), but since it is such a large audience it might hurt mozilla.
