I think I got the main point. What's to say that Netscape 5.0 won't like
something else that neither you nor I can predict? What if, for instance,
it crashes if your <OPTION> tags don't have closing </OPTION> tags? What if
the values of all tag attributes need to be in double quotes? What if ...

When it comes out, I full expect people to say "NS5 doesn't like the PHP
page because of X". I will then fix X. Then.
