a product that promises a result should deliver the said result. NS 
promises to uphold the W3C recommendations. Technically it does not do as 
promised since the trans /is/ one of the W3C recs.

While you and I will never agree on the strict v. trans argument given the 
fact that we do work in completely different environments, I think you can 
agree that a promise is a promise and NS failed.

Although, I knew you would just /love/ knowing NS fails to render the trans 
dtd.

In true HWG spirit of respectfully disagreeing,
yours,
