The thing with Mozilla/Netscape 5/6 whatever, is that it is going to be
standards compliant (at least much more so than the others). The problem is
not with HTML but with the javascript that some people are using for DHTML.
At the moment NS and IE use different ways of passing information (the
Document Object Model) in order for them to do things. Neither of these is
standard compliant. Mozilla will be, but that means for some DHTML to work
in all three browsers it will need very careful scripting.

So don't worry too much :-).
