>But, I'll bet if you asked Netscape they'd say it would make their lives
marginally easier if they were able to keep their BORDER attribute
distinct from whatever the standard uses. I imagine they're going to
want to preserve their existing behavior essentially forever, to keep
their customers happy, in addition to whatever the standard mandates.

Nice pun in "marginally". Thanks for the explanation. I think it's
up to Netscape, which may have different views, to communicate whatever
views they have on the topic (and indeed, the whole tables draft) to
this group. Lou, you were at Danvers; how do you feel about this
proposal?
