Which requires specifying:

- commandline interface
- browser type (mozilla-oldschool? thunderbird? other mozilla-based?)
  And what about a Konqeror shop?
- compiler ABI (2.95? 2.96? 3.0? 3.2? 3.4?)

I see way too many variables here that will change what the 'correct'
value is over time (browser type, C++ ABI) to really make standardization
useful. What gain is there to specifying the web browser interface?
