It's possible to workaround, yes, but ugly as heck.
It wouldn't be the first time de facto standards became standards even
above previous standards. HTML was specified earlier as a subset of SGML,
but with browsers not implementing it as such, we don't have the HTML5
working group forcing themselves now into something painful just because
the canonical authority said so, but rather they are taking the opportunity
to redefine the specification in a way which is effectively
backward-compatible yet an advancement for future development.
While this case is different in that IE is also still a hold-out on this
issue, and there is no rewriting of the ES spec that supports this now, the
added pressure of the other browsers implementing could conceivably add a
little push the next time the specification may be revisited (if not
sooner).
It would be nice if things could be made easier on the developers as well
as the implementers...
