Nor does it mean identical. I think that's what gets a lot of deezyner
panties in a bunch when they see words like "flexible design will work in
any browser." They assume that "work" means "looks identical", when in
fact it means nothing of the sort - a working web site is one that any
user can read. Whether or not every user gets to see the pretty bells and
whistles is another matter entirely.
