Things like this shouldn't upset you. This is how email=20
communication works. (i.e. don't write so that people can=20
understand you, write so that people cannot missunderstand=20
you).

Note that you are artificially limiting yourself. DOM is=20
the biggest problem when you are sticking to standards.

You can still do allot. Is that enough?
You can't replicate everything your client sees on the web!
The real question is: "Why are you sticking with standards?"

Sometimes you have to use some "tricks". Like specifying a=20
diffrent dtd location so that NN6 doesn't interpret tables=20
the way no browser has done before. And like using @import=20
url() statment in your CSS so that IE3 and NN4 ignore that=20
part of CSS.

These are not the cleanest solutions, but they are valid,=20
simple and most importantly they work.
