Listening to the item on BBC news last night, it sounded like the preferred workaround for the time being is to use something other than MSIE. Implied that MS was the one offering the solution, or at least that's the impression I got from the radio story. Yes, it's interesting how now, when you clearly remember having seen something, it may no longer exist in the form you remember. Definitely a step forward in the business of rewriting history!
