Thanks!

dropping support for old browsers doesn't necessarily mean you have to=20
go "all the way", like suggested here (and like I do), and remove ALL=20
formatting for them.

The main point is to try to stop using presentational HTML to work=20
around broken browser limitations.

you can also serve poor NN4.x a very light stylesheet, so that it is not=20
too "plain HTML" - a few font colors, margins if it doesn't choke on=20
them, etc.

I don't do it, because I believe there is a point in encouraging people=20
to use the more standards-compliant browsers, and serving old browsers a=20
bland (but perfectly accessible, mind you!) layout can help move in that=20
direction.
