Those webmasters usually don't pay attention to IE4 compatibility
either.

Since IE5 and NN6 share the same API for DOM access (enabling all those
"DHTML" effects you see), they could easily just drop support for IE4
and NN4, and use a standard API for this stuff.

Of course, proprietary DOM API isn't the only convenience offered
by IE to the webmasters, but I doubt the ability to add a favorite or
set the site as a Home page (or to add a Netscape sidebar) is really a
reason to stop a person from visiting the site.
