wow

As both a developer and a heavy user, all I have to say to this is "wow." Since I first heard of Firefox all those years ago, I never expected to hear a legitimate argument against it. To this day, and after reading this comment, I still have not been dissapointed. It would be wonderful if a set of rules could be laid down for all browsers to follow, and even more so if they all actually did. Just because no one browser is perfect does not mean that none of them should attempt to be. To blatantly ignore certain rules while other browsers follow them is both reckless and irresponsible. IE controls a large majority of the market (I haven't looked at the numbers recently enough to quote a reasonable figure), but it is not because they deliver a better product. Most people will use the browser that comes bundled (and hoplessly entangled) with their OS without even a second thought. That being said, wouldn't it be nice if said browser played by the same rules as everyone else?
