My 2 cents. Version 4 browsers are retarded and should die. Governments or Militaries with big bureaucracies are always antiquated. If they want to use 10-20 year old software, they pay the consequences and let the rest of the world make progress. If you want it to work in a version 4 or less browser, do everything on the server side via CGI. Leave all static content. Or (cringe) use applets or Flash. :p But the same government people probably restrict the use of either.
Sorry, no offense Doug. It's gotto suck to be responsible for supporting old software for a technologically antiquated employer, be they government, military, educational institution, or big business. I know I would personally refuse to work under such conditions and find another job, even if it meant leaving the country and going half way around the world.
