Of course I mean that CSS will be required to be supported in future HTML
specs.

True, but I see this as a minor annoyance compared to NS4's inability to set
a zero left margin with CSS, for example, or randomly render moderately
complicated table layouts.

I put up as an example, the layouts in CMF.  They don't render correctly in
NS4.  Perhaps you can suggest some ways to fix it.

Another thing that would be nice is if the ZMI worked in IE5 -- cut and
paste don't work in that browser.
