    This is laughable. Opera is hardly the bastion of interoperability.

    But just what are standards? Since IE is the standard broswer for computers, isn't being compatable with IE the defacto standard for websites? Therefore shouldn't other browsers conform to MS standards? Just because you declare something a standard doesn't make it so. Sometimes standards come about from common usage.
