I find that statement surprising (UWEBD's, not Dan's).  In terms of
correctness and completeness, NS6's CSS support is worlds better than
NS4's--which is saying next to nothing, but still...  I would say informally
that it matches either IE5.5 or Opera 4.x for CSS support--which is saying
quite a bit more.  Did the discussion there mention specific properties?
And were they looking at the final release?
