True, but the browsers (makers) are just about as bad as the w3c in the
overall endeavor, too. A little pulling-together could go a long way.
Of course, you have to be smart enough to understand the goal _and_
capable enough to accomplish it.

Take the best features of the 3 major (win OS) browsers and you'd have
one helluva interface, so I'd say it _can_ be done, but will it? The
new Firefox (1.5) was just officially released with (what I consider) a
major bug that appeared 5-6 back in the development betas: the left
margin is off. Who knows how or why; I'm too frustrated to care much,
anyway. And, as you implied, until it _works_ in a browser, it's nada.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.
