Try that again :)
As Gary points out Google Frame can sit inside IE - of virtually any
current flavour.
So we settled on focussing, when we needed to know the browser in
advance, on Chrome.
Which is sort of a shame because Firefox is excellent especially from
a developer's point of view, and may

It centralises the browser dependency issues. You still have the big
pain of wildly different

Well, ultimately anyone "writing" (emitting) HTML is using tools *exactly*
like that.
The question is, what tool do you use to create the code that ends up
