Of course, we could look at this the other way...
Perhaps the other browsers had to add support for this non-standard
syntax _because_ Microsoft not only supported it, but was pushing it in
its documentation, etc.

Netscape/Mozilla (Opera does not directly support this non-standard
anyway, so there goes your "all standard browsers" claim) remove
support for this dangerous, formerly MS-driven non-standard extension
because surely the Mozilla developers will not want the label "makers
of a browser with a lower security standard than IE"...
