But a *separate* issue is that we *should not try* to cater to people who cannot use a modern up to date self updating trustworthy web browser. A browser more than a few months old is a security risk; *we* are not going to enforce that concept, but we shouldn't go out of our way to support it either. The same goes for anyone who disables javascript or uses a content modifying plugins or extensions in their browser. Problems caused by that have a simple solution, it isn't on us to untangle. -gps
