Yeah NS 7.1 is pretty good, however I just discovered a quirk last night regarding CSS.
I've got a major CSS file that sets padding, and a host of other elements in tables. When I generated the page using the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Final//EN"> My main navigation table in NS 7.1 had a gap in it, not in IE though. I decided to do a "what the heck" and used <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> and there was no gap! Not understanding this if I want to ensure standards compliance, I'll need to figure out which CSS, XHTML or DOM element NS 7.1 doesn't support, or if I need to reference a local URI or something. (I'm Just now learning the finer points of advanced CSS and DOM control). So for me, it's cross-browser testing as usual! The real question though is, now that AOL signed another multi-year agreement to use the IE engine in AOL <ACK cough - sputter> and laid off more NS staff, how long will it be before NS goes completely open source? Ultimately I'm an NS FANatic since NS 0.9 beta and an anti-corporate kind of a guy, however I have no desire (YET) to explore Linux, Opera, or any of the other dozen anti-Bill solutions for Intel based PCs.
