No. IE is killed off by MS on the Mac, the only thing we should offer is  
level 4, just like for NS4. They are equivalent in the market share /  
future growth area.

Another minor nitpick - Level 4 sounds *more advanced* than Level 1, maybe  
we should reverse the numbering. Thus:

Level 1 - Universal Information Access
Level 2 - CSS-compliant browsers
Level 3 - Partial Dynamic Element support
Level 4 - Full Dynamic Element support

I want to get away from the term DHTML, to not confuse it with the  
proprietary extensions that IE/Netscape had in their v4 browsers.

Maybe DOM is a better name, but Dynamic Element is a more generic term.

Then we could make a list of browsers and list them in the different  
categories. I'm almost tempted to knock up a quick Archetype to have them  
being automatically listed. ;)
