Yes, thats possible.  But the thing is, we have to create website for 
people and not for a validator.  What does it help me when I use a 
valide stylsheet, which works on galeon well, but not on Internet 
Exporer.

I think we have to create websites for the Browsers to show it 
correctly and not only vor validation.

There is a question:  Does Internet Explorer really try to use the w3 
standard?

What does that mean.  Is there anywhere a website where i can see how 
the w3 standard differs from the IE interpretations?
