Microsoft Pledge (Cont.)
"Previous proprietary HTML extensions from Microsoft and other vendors have confused the market, hampered interoperability and been ill-conceived with respect to [HTML] design principles ...
Microsoft will agree to:
- Not ship extensions to HTML without first submitting them to W3C.
- Implement all W3C approved HTML standards.
- Clearly identify any not-yet-approved HTML tags we support as such.
- Publish a Document Type Definition (DTD) for its browser as mandated by SGML.
- Follow the architecture principles of HTML and its parent, SGML, when proposing new extensions.
Microsoft agrees to hold itself to these standards. Will all the other Web browser vendors, including Netscape, also agree to this conduct of behavior?"
