Anyone else notice WebExplorer uses Netscape HTML?

centering tags.
This is how it is supposed to work - with a great company like Netscape
Comm pushing the standard and getting others to go along.

I think it is the authors of HTML-Documents all over the world using
Netscape's extensions, who create the pressure on the companies.
The pages pretty much define the face of the browser. A lot of
existing pages look better with Netscape, and so does the client app.

Really? I thought that the IETF set up a working group
to define the standard and that eventually the IAB
made it into a STD.
Since this process is already underway, it seems strange to
me that the Netscape authors have decided to develop their
own proprietary tags. This kind of blatant disregard for
the standards process makes it difficult for those of us
trying to put content on the net since we don't have
a standard to adhere to when creating documents.

Yup. That other browsers could center objects befer NetScape came out
didn't cause browser writers to add support for HTML+ to their
browsers. People writing pages caused it to happen.
Now that NetScape supports the HTML+ tags, it behooves authors to use
the HTML+ tags, as they will work in more browsers than the NHTML
tags.

Once and for all: The NetScape tags *are neither* HTML+ nor HTML3.0 nor
HTMLanything! They're NetScape tags and far from proposed standards.
Read the HTML 3.0 DTD before babbling of Netscape pushing standards.

Gee, I could have SWORN that the centering features that NetScape now
supports - you know, adding "align=center" to p, headings, etc. - were
from HTML+. It really surprises me that these features you call
NetScape features showed up in other browsers before they showed up in
NetScape - or even before the first NetScape centering feature.
No matter whether "align=center" is a NetScape feature or an HTML+ or
HTML 3.0, authors would be wise to use it in preference <CENTER> where
it will do the job, as it is supported by more browsers.

I believe the poster was referring to the fact that Netscape will also
support the HTML 3.0 equivalents of the <center> tag (<P align=center>),
and others as well. The Netscape tags are not HTML 3.0, as you stated,
but I don't think he was saying that at all.
Just wanted to make sure that was clear.
