I don't understand the hype behind all these Microsoft settlement proposals. They're doing the proposal. They're still inflicting their own punishment in a way that suits them, exclusively. Not only does a third party have to get in and influence the settlement agreements (which we're seeing in this case), but they have to write the proposal. Microsoft is saying, "Hey Dad, why don't you ground me? Oh, and let me leave the room to go to school and do my errands; oh, and play with my friends. OK, I don't have to play with my friends ALL the time. And I don't have to leave my room at night."
According to Microsoft, they've already settled the class action lawsuit! And I quote: "...[Microsoft] has reached a nationwide settlement of more than 100 class action lawsuits..."
I didn't realize there was little discrepancy between "reached" and "proposed".

It's interesting that Microsoft eliminated the very word that best represents them in many circumstances.
The GNOME html engine is based on the khtml library, and at my last look, it clearly indicates this in the documentation.
