Depending on ordering, this advice either doesn't work for Firefox (including FF4), or for IE8 (and below). See <http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attfnboth> and <http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attfnboth2>. That's why I ended up with the statement abour U-A sniffing. Nobody likes it. I don't like it. But like it or not, it's what you need to do as of today. The alternative of course is not to have any advice here, and just link to something we can update more quickly. Best regards, Julian
