But What About The Handle-Differing-Browsers-In-The-Right-Way Bregade?

First impression is very good for me. But some sites which identify the client browser are going to be slow to catch up. Facebook is one: "Sorry, we're not cool enough to support your browser. Please keep it real with one of the following browsers ...". It's real hard as a web developer to support the few that are out there as it is and have your page rendered proper-like. Strict XHTML specs and things like Acid2 will improve for the future. But not the masses yet. We still have to cater for _all_ browsers that are out there at the moment on the not-a-mobile platform. Lowest common denominator it is.
