I've worked with the mozilla project (the open source project responsible
for the creation for Netscape's browser from 6.0 and onward).  It is not
netscape that is failing.

This is true.  There is a lot of IE-specific stuff (and a lot of old
Netscape 4.x stuff).  The old Netscape 4.x specific tags are no longer
part of mozilla or the new Netscape browser.

This is completely untrue.  Mozilla and its Netscape siblings are the most
correct browsers available.  Mozilla conforms to more W3C standards than
any other browser.  IE falls far short of Mozilla's capabilities as
regarding HTML and CSS standards.
