<pre wrap=""><!---->I like what you've done here, thanks. I think it's a much more
natural flow. But I still think it's useful to have the initial
table, so that it's easy to see the levels of DAV support as a "quick
glance" sort of thing. A number of folks have thanked us for that
table in the past, and now that information is soley buried in the
prose.

I agree that a quick glance is in order, but your table was
unfortunately a poor format for that kind of information. With the
exception of "Windows Webfolders", no row had a checkbox in more than
one column (and Webfolders should have only had one) -- that's a sign
that a multi-column checkbox isn't the right format. If instead you
want to do something like this:<br>
<blockquote>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top">Standalone applications<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Microsoft Office, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, ...<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">Explorer extensions<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Webfolders, Nautilus, ...<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">Filesystem implementations<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Mac OS X, ...<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</blockquote>
That's fine. It ain't like there's so many of these things listed that
the application names need to be the "keys" into the table -- a quick
vgrep does the trick.<br>
