No. A fact that I cannot prove at the moment.

A year or two is not ages , and it's not THAT incorrect .. it's just redundent code as PRE
also specifies a teletype/monospaced font.
If you look at the banner on your webpage you will see that I cleverly used the fact that
<TT> does not use the same kind of formatting as <PRE> but merely changes the font to a
monospaced.

It would be the same kind of redundency if you specified a stylesheet that set the font to
monospaced as it would be if you used <TT> 's even if you had used <PRE>.

Redundent not buggy.

Yeah like Microsoft ever listed to their users .. ha!

>and let the users decide if they want to support such stupid software....

I like this argument though... Yes dont use software that will not obey standards .. (uhh
great argument from a guy that still uses Outlook Express .. silly CeeJay)
