The target browsers are all the generation five and greater browsers, for both Windows and Macintosh platforms. We are also looking to use the same style rules for all of these browsers. This constraint makes the task more difficult and the final code larger and more complex than it would be for a browser with good compliance to CSS level 2, like Netscape 6.
