Not true. It does support absolute positioning, albeit badly.

Actually the best and most complete support of any browser on any platform.

You use _ as an IDENT character (i.e. your class name contains a _), which is
not permitted. The _required_ behaviour in response to this (that is the error
recovery behaviour) is to ignore the associated ruleset[s]. (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/grammar.html for tokenizer, and
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2 section 5 (can\'t remember the URL) for error recovery
rules)

You mix points and pixels: bad. Read http://richinstyle.com/masterclass/lengths.html

If you use Netscape it does, because the result of reporting bugs to Netscape
is a better browser for you.

http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/mozilla-relicense-faq.html explains otherwise.

This is true. Although Open Source, Mozilla is strictly controlled by Netscape\'s
financial interests. See for example http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22994.
It\'s sole purpose is to make Netscape money. It would not exist otherwise.
However, this is hardly a revelation.
