I stand corrected -- It doesn't work on IE5.2 on MacOsX either, which is the most up-to date browser Microsoft produces for a mac. It's not as good as Safari, but many people are using it purely for a sense of continuity after upgrading. As I said, it's not a question of standards, it's a question of the standards' implementation.

Nice try but dumping standards when it suits makes standards worthless

It's not about dumping standards, it's about developing for the real world instead of developing in a highly theoretical void.
In any situation, where standards are an ideal, that the reality cannot live up to, then the standard is worthless except in providing a bench mark to aim for.

I wonder how long it will be before the search engines and directories just drop any web sites not coded in xml cos thats the way its heading

When it's financially beneficial to do so. I'd guess it'll be a slow and gradual process in which deprecated standards that clash with current ones are dropped. I'd bet on around 5 years as a minimum.
BTW
obuwebco sorry if this seems to have gone off topic for you, I don't think we intended to hijack the thread. Did you find the solution you were looking for yet?
