The WSP is right. As a Web developer, I am sick & tired of the unfulfilled promises of Mozilla. It is very obvious that Microsoft felt that they could ignore a lot of standards for IE 5.5 becuase there is no credible alternative to IE on Windows.
The situation is different on the Mac, where Netscape still has a large user population. As a result, Microsoft chose a different strategy, making IE more standards compliant than Netscape.
As an aside, the WSP is being too myopic in focusing entirely on PC-based Web browsers. There is a whole raft of non-PC based Web browsers that are also throwing standards to the wind.
This is serious bullshit. I just finished reading the PPI paper. They actually want to require service providers to collect personally identifable information that can be verified offline.
No Fucking Way am I going to give a company a window into my personal life just so they can judge me and dump me. How many times to we have to have this argument.

The comment about code tweaks is a bit much. There is plenty I can do to Windows NT or MacOS without tweaking source code.

Let me get this straight....
You took pictures of the brochure but not the cute girls handing them out. Pervert.
