Uh, the last time I checked, those weren't part of the HTML standard.
Nor do they seem like legitimate browser features to me. That's what
Java applets are for. And what real, honest-to-God TERMINALS are for.

Apparently not, since they're willing to buy into a company that would
rather force its competitors out of business (with anticompetitive
tactics that would make the "robber barons" of the early
transcontinental railroads seem downright beatific) than produce a
decent product. Microsloth (actually, my preferred nickname for that
company incorporates an obscene Yiddish word) is the Enron of the
software industry.
