WSP Petitions MS to Make IE Meet W3C Standards

Eric Krock writes "The Web Standards Project has launched a petition drive to pressure Microsoft to fully support HTML 4.0, CSS1, DOM1, and XML in IE." Like it or not, IE is currently the most widely-used WWW browser. Since Microsoft is under a lot of pressure to act (or at least pretend to act) nice nowadays, a large number of polite requests to make their browser products fully support current and future W3C standards just might do some good.

Javascript standard in a nutshell

[DonkPunch]

Section 1.0
Paragraph a:

When running javascript, all behavior shall be considered undefined.

It is recommended that the implementor:
1) Pop up annoying banner ads which never can be killed.
2) Generate a minimum of three errors per page.
3) Randomly close the browser in the middle of rendering a page.

The coming standard is also expected to recommend forwarding your e-mail address to random spammer groups.

Hope this helps. :)
