- AFAIK it does to some extent, but they are (rightly, IMHO) documented as "bugs".
- Netscape isn't exactly making itself popular in the SGML world.

- Personally, I hate it. As applications go, it behaves arrogantly in grabbing
- all your colours and memory, and even a lot of CPU time when it's hardly doing
- anything at all. Bloatware becomes an art at this point: A reasonable browser
- becomes a lousy newsreader but who cares. Who cares about some more disk space
- wasted by built-in "funny" secret pages and pictures. It's not the kilobytes,
- it's the mentality.
-
- But worst of all is this "c00l!" attitude. "Hey guys, why not clog up the
- university network by downloading all these 598K pictures of second-hand bread
- toasters and not delete them on logging out? Wouldn't that be cool?".
