Well, it's not *that* bad.  HTML tags and other markup that affects the 
layout is fine.  Tables, forms, queries, etc are all fine.  That just 
affects what goes into the browser window.

It's not the browser itself that broke things, it was Javascript, 
plugins, and automatically executed externals (file associations). 

The abomination from hell is IE, where you use your browser to **UPDATE 
YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM**.
