Blaming the website, when it is clearly a limitation of your browser, is
illogical.

not exactly. A website, by definition, claims to comply with the
HTML standards. A browser, by definition, is able to render HTML.


If a compliant browser can't properly display a webpage because
the site has invalid HTML, the fault lies with the site.

Valid by whose definition, W3C? The guidelines they come out with are
interpreted so differently by companies like Microsoft and Netscape that
it's hard to define valid :-)


The whole point of the www is to move away from closed systems
and properitary software. The point is to move to platform
independance.
