I very much hope that the (future) DargonFly BSD pages will
be viewable on any browser, even without JavaScript, with
cookies disabled, with user CSS settings overriding those
of the page author (or even without any CSS support at all).

The current paegs at dragonflybsd.org render perfectly fine
in lynx, links, w3m, dillo and other text-mode or otherwise
simple and lightweight browsers (although the Wiki seems
to be broken right now).  They even work in Opera's C64 mode.
;-)

I think it is desirable that any future redesign of the web
pages keep that property, i.e. be as browser-independent as
possible.

Just my 2 Euro cents.

Best regards
   Oliver
