    CSS is a W3 standard, but was originally designed by the CTO of Opera
    Software, a company which is one of Microsoft's more vocal detractors
    and which recently received a large settlement in a lawsuit regarding
    Microsoft's (alleged) intentional efforts to make their website render
    poorly in Opera's browser. IE handles CSS1 badly, and CSS2 almost not
    at all. Calling it a Windows thing severely misrepresents the facts.

    One should not criticize the design of an engine while vehemently
    claiming to have no interest in how enginges are built.
