CALL FOR ACTION: THE OPEN WEB NEEDS YOU *NOW*

[Aaron Doucette]

In my opinion, the way to stop this is to write an app for the target
platform(s), and leave the website to valid, universally supported syntax.

Targeting non-conforming platforms with hacks becomes such a pain in butt
to maintain, it's almost surely worth the extra effort up front.

That being said, I don't develop apps, nor am I a web dev for a site with a
large user base. I like to think that if I was, I would tell the ie6 users
and their new-age counterparts to jump in the lake.
