Re: Features and fixes incompatible with backward compatibility

We're in danger of revisiting the nostalgia of the last discussion, and the one before that, and…well, as they say, even nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Web pages explicitly designed for the unexpected displays are easy.  It's all the rest of the pages on the web that are hard.
