This is getting more and more off topic, but I have to mention that
the reason websites are starting to go NS6 only is because
Netscape < 6 has nothing to do with industry standards (in that the
"standard" defined by netscape is no more industry standard than
the "standard" defined by microsoft). Netscape 6 was developed to
strictly conform to industry standards (which is part of the reason
why it has taken so long to be usable), where the older Netscape
browsers were piles and piles of cruft added on to the original NS
.9/1.1 code (which wasn't standard then either).
Quite simply, as a browser Netscape 4.x sucks rocks. That said,
HTML is supposed to degrade nicely, so well written websites
_should_ still work.
