You forgot the <fe>markup</fe>.

I hope nobody seriously believes that MSIE 6 users simply didn't know there are newer versions. (Or even-- bite your tongue-- other browsers.) We're not talking about some arcane media player that you might fire up once a year and ignore the upgrade notices because you won't be using it again until well after your next OS upgrade.

Transparent pngs, eh? Apparently nobody ever told the developers of the ancient Mac versions of MSIE that We Don't Do That Here. Everything else in MSIE 5.2 may belong to the Internet stone age, but transparency? No problem. otoh, it chokes on Javascript. And on any and all non-ascii characters that don't have named HTML entities.

Rumor has it that MSIE has finally heard about font substitution. I hope it's true.
