Isn't that a pretty arrogant position? Me, e.g., I'm still using OmniWeb
2.x mostly from my machine at work. Mostly because OW 3 is far to slow
and really buggy.

Specifically, what do you gain for a GNUstep page by all these 'toy-features'
following the HTML 3.0 standard, unless you're willing to go X(HT)ML and
have a really strict document?

On the other hand, when you don't care, your web-site should be at least
be clear against the W3C-validator in its strictest mode. Best designed
for "whatever" (especially if that is InternetExplorer of any version) is
certainly not in GNUstep's spirit.

: but I wonder, what is the official FSF/GNU position on that?

Yes, that would be really interesting!!! I assume they would like it
standards-compatible and would use Mozilla as the reference platform.
