You seem to be trying to position yourself as the sole crusader against
writing "for IE", but has anyone in this thread actually *recommended*
writing code specifically for IE?

From what I've read, most people have recommended writing HTML to the
standards, but then (if needed) adding a few extra kludges to make it
work in IE (yet only in ways that don't break it in standards-compliant
browsers!).

In my experience this is a sensible route to take because:

a. initially developing for standards compliant browsers
is far easier than initially developing for IE, which in
certain cases can cause ones head to bleed; but

b. although IE's market share is dropping, it is still high
and most sites will need to cater for it for the foreseeable
future.
