I do not doubt the accuracy of your experience.  But, what I state is accepted 
as true even if it isn't always correct.  Business customers still accept this 
as the common wisdom so if it is no longer true, we need to change opinion as 
much as we need to change the software.

Since I prefer Konqueror, I am not going to be finding sites that work on 
Konqueror and not on FireFox -- I always use Konqueror first (unless opening 
links from e-mail), if it doesn't work I use FireFox and in the rare case that 
it doesn't work either I open IE 6.0 with CrossOver.  When I never have to use 
something besides Konqueror, I will be pleased.   IIUC, in the near future, I 
will not have to open FireFox, but rather can simply change to the Gecko KPart 
when KHTML doesn't render a site correctly.  I will be happy to see that too.

If only everyone would make their web site conform to the W3C standards, I would 
be *really* happy.
