“A co-founder of the Web Standards Project applauds Netscape’s
move toward standards compliance, but says it comes none too

WebTools David Sims interviews Glenn Davis, the chief technical
officer of Project Cool.

“We created a petition, let them know about it, showed them
people really did care. And a few weeks later, they let us know
they had decided to wipe the old renderer out and use the Gecko in
their 5.0 product. And they decided they were going to make the
Gecko browser 100 percent compliant with the standards we were
asking for.”
