Heh, I personally have the same attitude as you. Problem is what you
are asking for may never happen. DynAPI does not simply help support
the older browsers it also bridges the differences in implementation and
interpretation of the current standards. Even the most current versions
of the browsers do not do things the same way. DynAPI allows us to
write one set of code and it sorts out the mess between the browsers.
Oh well, that's my input on the subject...

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] not so sure about this anymore
All,
I have a somewhat philosophical question about this project. I got the
source, started working with it, threw my hat into the ring as a Mac guy
and now I'm having second thoughts about the necessity of this project
at all. I've been spending a lot of time working with pure CSS/DOM in
Mozilla/NS6, IE5 and Opera 5 and have been reading some articles on A
List Apart (www.alistapart.com) about the Web Standards Project's new
browser upgrade initiative and I've decided something. I am no longer
going to encourage the use of old buggy browsers (most of which are 3-4
years old). From now on, my sites are only compatible with CSS/DOM
capable browsers. If you ain't got one, upgrade. I think it's about
time. This cross-browser compatibility stuff is holding back the web
and I don't see the reason for it anymore. Suddenly, DynAPI seems like
a waste of time for me. A band-aid on a limb that is so damaged it
should just be amputated. How will this project remain vital in the
long run? What will it offer besides bugwards compatibility?
Ryan
