If you're using a 'personal' hypertext preprocessor with
'my' sql on a private intranet, you can do it the
'My'crock-software way.

It does seem, that Microsoft, early on at least, took a
rather cavalier attitude of "rules. what rules? we can
make our own rules..." when creating their Internet
products.

The result is a BWOT (big waste of time) when getting
entangled in things like cross-browser support.
(I won't even go into Active-X, the cousin of Direct-X whose
icon is strikingly similar to the radioactive waste symbol --
but here's a hint: 'security nightmare')
