Re: OT (browser standards)

I was suggesting this sort of activity only.. This
page very well puts the need..
http://webstandards.org/about/

But this seems an unofficial body.. Its just like you
and me expressing our opinion!

In this site, there is a page
http://webstandards.org/act/bug/ , where we can report
bugs to browser vendors.. But that mail would go to
Microsoft, Mozilla or Opera.. Its just like, when I
get an error on IE, an error page pops up saying
"report this problem to Microsoft.." .

What we need is, that W3C starts such activity, and
sets a similar kind of site... After collecting
feedbacks fom users, W3C can submit the list to
vendors.. If they can ensure enforcement, it'll be
great! But thats not possible, I think, as W3C can
only recommend standards, but cannot enforce them..

Mukul
