Oh come on people! Read the usage in context. It's an in(line) joke!
It's sarcasm!
I should also point out, for newer readers, that refering to a
'certain unpopular browser' (Netscape Navigator) is misleading. The browser
itself is a fine product and many readers of this list use it as their
primary browsing tool. What does draw unfavourable comment is the
explosion of formatting tags and attributes that Netscape has introduced.

They probably do. But it is easy enough to add in a joke by hand.
Come on folks, lighten up!
