Hey Matt, I really appreciate your knowledge and your passion regarding feature detection. You've definitely given me a lot to think about in this thread. I'm wondering about this paragraph, though:

In the case of jQuery core, one of the biggest accomplishments of version 1.3 was that it eliminated browser sniffing in favor of feature detection. Are "the techniques being used" in the current version still problematic? And, if so, how?
