As an interface developer, I feel that Netscape 6 has been a giant leap backwards for mankind from 4.7. The claims of standards compliance are a joke (that being given the reason for not supporting DHTML layers and the like), when it still inherits table backgrounds through all internal cells! This was one of the improvements I was looking forward in N6 that just never happened. Perhaps more time should have been spent on solving these types of issues, rather than on chickee babe stuff like skins.
