I'm with you, Lauren and, yes, it's a brilliant discussion :) !!!

I'm struggling, just like everyone else. I just wrote a form and
included various accessibility features in it (all standard html 4+
stuff) and then discovered that not only are most of these features not
supported by Netscape 6+ or Opera 5+ but that Netscape 6.1 is so buggy,
the form is all over the place - so, I ended up writing an alternative
plain form version as well...

Why should we care?
I sometimes wonder....
I'm working with people (senior to me and in the IT field) who believe
that I am wasting time writing sites the way I do. Apparently, I could
get a better and quicker result working in Word...
