HTML 4.0 adds support for advanced forms, in-line frames, and enhanced tables, as well as support for objects, scripts, and style
sheets, according to representatives at the W3C. Many of the functions were developed by Microsoft for its DHTML and then
submitted for consideration by the standards body.


It appears that the reason that MSFT is closer (at least in some aspects) to the HTML 4.0 spec is because many of the proposed specs that got adopted were proposed by MSFT, based upon code that they already had working. Thus it is not a matter of MSFT implementing standards faster than NSCP but of MSFT being more effective at getting their proprietary extensions adopted as the standard.
