This isn't an issue with browser distribution, as that suit was. This is an 
issue with a web site designer who uses an inferior design tool (probably 
FrontPage) that is crippled because it creates sections of non-standard 
HTML code that are supported only by an inferior browser (i.e., IE).

Many web sites have such non-standard code - the engineering page on the 
Premiere site is an example.
