My worry is that with such a painful fall back experience it won't be usable for even longer. Yes lots of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript features couldn't be used when spec'd, but they started being used when only a small percentage supported it. With this, I can't really see supporting it as a publisher/author until a HUGE percentage of browsers support it. :\ --GavinReceived on Monday, 25 January 2010 23:36:07 UTC
