Following the XML embedding tutorials for HTML breaks validity in all cases. Anyway. Seeing how many advanced users prefer alternate browsers over MSIE and sometimes tend to be using Linux anyhow, 9% might be realistic, although I wouldn't expect to archieve the same results with a website that has a more general target audience (eg. a news site or online portal). -ap
