No doubt about that, but interest is seriously waning. I cared back when Netscape and then Opera were the only reasonable browsers, but that hasn't been true for years. The whole idea of compat is that if all these systems are posix, then emulation is just a little bit twiddling to fix the values of flags and so on. As systems diverge and add and use non-posix system calls, compat must move from a translation layer to a real emulator.
