Yet again, I find myself asking "Should be" ?!?! We're just trying to make
tools that work together here, not tilt at windmills. I'd probably remove that
Style Guildelines section entirely, but let's not confuse WebStep with the
world... I think the limit of our contributions in that direction will be the
banning of Netscape tags in WebStep-compliant tools :-)

PS. Seriously, should we, as a standards group, recognize the validity of
producing NetScape tags? I can understand the browser-writers wanting to
implement it, but I think it's not good policy for authoring standards.
