1) I bet someone would come up with those figures
2) "overall" standard?
3) we're not talking about HTML implementation, but about the userinterface of browsers.
4) put a big nice page on the first page of the forums: "made for MSIE"....
5) I'm saying: make something for a as much wide userbase as you can. eg: Patchou could decide to make plus! only work on XP... if you make something for the big public, then consider all the different sofware uses...
6) Don't let this evolve into "which browser is the best"...
7) this is going off-topic
8) The main thing is: Dont' be lazy and right-click/middle-click before you choose to "view" an attachment; That's the way normal links work in general; In this case the saying "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" comes in my mind...
