Well, this is interesting. let me assume you have not built too
much into "competent". Is it true though? We need a set of
cases... Viewing things that do crazy things in IE from standard
CSS instructions makes people anxious, that they cannot see all
of a table without scrolling is just an understandable bother...
the one causes folk to reach for the valium, to bang their head a
bit.. the other ... well, just another irritation like
non-human-answering telephone systems.

(God, this is time consuming... I know what I am doing...
avoiding trying to figure out a way to get text and pics from a
..pub document given to me so that I can throw it into some sort
of html shape. I am on a Mac and have not got Publisher and may
have to get it etc...and put it on my old PC and so on...
yawn...why don't clients send just text and pics?)
