Comments on Netscape, CSS, and Accessiblity

Mark Pilgrim and Ward Willats responded to my hissing at using hacks to support Netscape 4.x.

Ward has gone through 20 hours of heck to get a glish-style model working right under IE 5 on Win32.

And a project at work gave up and used tables for positioning after weeks of cross-browser development.
