Re: [Lynx-dev] it doesn't render tables.... :-(

Whoops. One more made headlines today: MSN.
(Although they don't get any brownie-points for displaying an error
message if you hit it with a browser that doesn't support CSS.)

Here's a good write-up: http://stopdesign.com/log/2005/01/31/msn-goes-css.html

On that note, do most of you guys and you Lynx devs keep up on CSS
news and technique? Or even Unobtrusive Javascript (hopefully the
buzzword for 2005)? It's funny to me that something such as CSS that
Lynx doesn't need or use has such potential to make the web a more
Lynx-friendly place.
