I think the spec would be stronger if instead of "action menus" and "date 
widget", it specified browser capabilities.  (Unless I'm missing something, 
date widget isn't a browser feature, right?)

If, in order to implement action menus and a date widget, we require w3c 
DOM support, then it'd be better to call that out.

Also, there are a few techniques (enclosing divs in divs) and hacks that 
can help a LOT when supporting IE's interpretation of the box model.  I 
suggest, though it's blasphemous, that you use these in Plone 2.  The only 
ugly code will be in the CSS, which is easily modified, and the benefit in 
terms of real-world support for real-world users will be huge.  This will 
reduce the need for Plone webmasters to implement their own solutions, and 
promote forward compatibility.

I'm running Plone 1.03, so I can't call out any specifics in the Plone 
code, but I could point to pages describing these techniques.  Let me know.
