I think the viewpoint is shifting toward making the site's information
available to all platforms, as oppoised to trying to make the site look
identical on all browsers.

The difference is that the informaiton can be available to users of NN4 or a
cell phone without going through a lot of tricks to make the site look
identical in those platforms to the way it does in IE6 or Mozilla 1.0.  So,
"cross-browser" now means something just subtely different than it used to,
but the core menaing is still there: anyone should be able to access the
content...:).

shouldn't we *always* be designing cross-browser sites? or is that old-hat
too, along with using transparent gifs for spacing?

yes, this is a serious question. not too long ago, it was expected that
designers have sites that worked in the top 2 or 3 browsers, if not ALL of
them. just wondering if or when that changed.
