Yea, NS4 <layers> are a real pain. There might be a
solution to the black board problem, but for the
addHTML() I think there might be a work around.

Yes, It is posible. When the page loads the _created
property is set on all layers. If the parent is
already created then it's time to create the child
otherwise it will be ignored in the addChild()

Well setPosition() and setClass() should work fine for
modern browsers. setBorder() is currently works fine
in ie but is having some problems with mozilla, opera,
etc when the clip property is set. Does anyone have a
work around to this?

Most features will/should degrade gracefully in older
browsers. So a function like setPosition() after page
load is not support in NS4, but that's not to say that
it can't work for other browsers, correct? The same
goes for setCursor() which is not supported NS4 but
the others will make good use of it.
