User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; fr-FR; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020611

I cannot find on mozilla.org a page giving the exact specification of what is
and is not implemented in Mozilla with respect to standards such as
HTML or CSS.

I would like something like
http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/
that is available for Opera.

That would prevent submitting bugs for things not implemented.

Reproducible: Always

I am sorry, but I have to reopen this bug.
Perhaps I was not clear enough in my initial request.

I know the page you refered me to.
It says that Mozilla implements HTML 4 and CCS 2.

This is *NOT* 100 % true, and what I need to know is EXACTLY 
what is not implemented.

For instance, CSS2 counters do not work since the :before and
:after pseudo-elements are not implemented.

The page
http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/
for Opera gives this kind of information.

This would be very useful:
1) it would prevent submitting bugs about non-implemented things
2) it would help deciding in switching from one Mozilla version 
to the next one.

search Bugzilla for browser bugs with html4, css1, css2, css3, dom0, dom1, dom2,
or dom3 keyword then. I don't think anyone has time chasing down every
HTML/CSS/DOM bug

suggest wontfix

Comment 5

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

The problem is that we change what we implement on a literally daily basis, so
it would be nearly impossible to keep such documentation up to date.

However, there have been efforts in this direction before. For example:

   http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/bugspecs/REC-CSS1.html

For more of these see: http://www.mozilla.org/catalog/web-developer/

WONTFIX.
