Re: [mv] RFC: Style Sheets MiniMate

["Alexei Yakimovich" <alex@del.donetsk.ua>]

I don't agree with Lee. :)

Have you ever designed big enough www project?
There is a very big difference between
usual methods and CSS. It's more simple and it's have
some functions which you never use.
And if you will be more careful you'll see at W3C
they recommend don't use the <FONT> tag :).
Netscape will be able to support all futures of CSS v1
in the next issue, as far as I know. :)
If you have difficulties with browsers version try the

Yes, Lynx is a great tool, but I think for developers only
and if you have only AT386 machine with Trident VGA. :).Why don't use
telnet www.somecompany.com 80
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
:)

Have a nice day,

Alexsei
