Thanks guys, I could not agree more.
The problem is this:
In the company I just started to work for I need twenty minutes by foot from
the main entrance to my work place (there are several shuttles, but somehow
I hate waiting more than a little walk).
The web application style guide has not changed much for several years and
it requires web apps wo work on IE 5.5+
Now I have two choices:
I either fulfill this requirement or I try and pick a fight.
It's a rather small project, so doing everything in pure jsp and fighting
browser incompatibilities myself is feasible (if annoying).
If I go the other way and try to argue that the web styleguide needs to be
updated I am in for endless discussions and arguments and emails and telephone
conferences. There are at least three levels of management that had to agree
and the whole issue will cost me many days while the outcome is still
questionable. Maybe if I am lucky I get approval in two or three months.
However the deadline is just seven weeks away.

IE 5.5 isn't supported by Microsoft, I don't see the need for any
MyFaces projects to support it either. It is a large security risk to
be running anything less than IE 6 (although IMO, running any IE is a
security risk)

I need to support IE 5.5 in my web app.
However I've read in Trinidad's release notes that only IE 6.0 is supported.
Is this a hard criteria?
If so I probably won't be able to use Trinidad at all :-(
Can anybody comment?
