Actually actually, hover is not defined as a pseudoclass in the CSS1 spec.
Only link, visited, and active are. It's a Microsoft invention. But just
because Micro$oft invented it, doesn't mean it's not cool. And I'm all for
Netscape implementing it.
By the way, as an aside, I've read a press release recently that says the
version number for the next Netscape Browser will be 6.0, not 5.0. Gotta
love those "marketing upgrades":
http://technews.netscape.com/news/0-1005-200-1576572.html?tag=st.cn.1
"Netscape will also incorporate Gecko into its new browser. As previously
reported, the new browser, called Netscape 6.0, is the first Web browser
software to emerge from Netscape since its acquisition by AOL in November
1998. AOL plans to let companies license Netscape 6.0, which is based on
Gecko technology, to create their own branded browsers."
The article also says the beta will be available in the next 25 days. We'll
see.

Actually, it IS a universally supported standard (CSS) - it's just not a
universally implemented standard :-)
