its not that you cannot make seriously impressive stuff that's pure CSS, its
just that it can be much more difficult to achieve than a few quick tables.

As I am finding with the new kitty5 site, pure CSS is so much simpler once
you forget ns4.7, so much so in fact that if I hadn't tried and tried and
tried to make it work in ns4.7 it would have been almost as quick and easy
as ignoring standards and creating a table mess.

for all my future work, ns4.7 gets the same treatment as any UA that is
unaware of CSS. I will test, perhaps tweak to ensure it remains 100% usable,
attempt to design for? not a hope.

I think this will have to be a big part of our message, developers should
forget ns4.7 - especially as according to thecounter.com stats for July 2002
its only pulling 3% - it really is so much more trouble than its worth, and
its not exactly a browser we want to encourage the continued use of by
fighting tooth and nail to make our work compatible with.
