Of course, we could look at this the other way...

Perhaps the other browsers had to add support for this non-standard 
syntax _because_ Microsoft not only supported it, but was pushing it in 
its documentation, etc.

From that perspective, it should be expected that we will see  
Netscape/Mozilla (Opera does not directly support this non-standard 
anyway, so there goes your "all standard browsers" claim) remove 
support for this dangerous, formerly MS-driven non-standard extension 
because surely the Mozilla developers will not want the label "makers 
of a browser with a lower security standard than IE"...
