<p class="MsoNormal">Crikey, imagine if we did not recommend that we teach HTML at one point because of this concern. It would have held up things for a decade! It is just that many are jumping ahead with advanced features before details about the standard
have been hammered out (these things take years). I recall that we saw much the same thing happening with images and tables with ye olde HTML. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Don't mind the fall-back mechanism suggested in the research report, we need to cater for all groups. Even those still using IE6 I suppose ;-) I guess that unlike VET, we have this luxury in the year 11IT area when we reflect upon audience
etc. I secretly enjoy cross-browser conflicts we bump into for all the learning opportunities that they provide for challenging and teaching students. My 2 cents worth .. <o:p></o:p></p>
