I can't see there being a workaround without some potentially complex server-side programming for each site owner. InPrivate filtering is explained at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/features/browse-privately.aspx but that doesn't say it's switched on by default. On the contrary, it says "InPrivate Filtering is off by default and must be enabled on a per-session basis. To use this feature, select InPrivate Filtering from the Safety menu. To access and manage different filtering options for Internet Explorer 8, select InPrivate Filtering Settings from the Safety menu. To end your InPrivate Browsing session, simply close the browser window." That would indicate that turning it on requires several actions by the user. I can't see why it should be on by default.
