I don't normally like 'me too' comments on a list like this, but I feel I
have to do so here. I strongly agree with Richard's comments on any
move to a proprietary commercial standard for something like HTML. Some
of the features of Netscape are commendable, and I occasionally use it,
but will resist any HTML that is not usable with the widest possible range
of HTML client/viewers. When new HTML specs are approved on the net and new
clients are widely available (public domain *or* commercial, I don't mind
paying for better client software) I will be happy to make use of these new
features. Not until.
