What I would like to be able to do is detect to see if the user has the proper support for web standards and if not redirect them to a version of the site using old skool junk HTML

So I am wondering: what the WSG members think of the idea? has something like this been made?
The whole idea of using web standards is to have a single version of a page sent to all browsers. Yes, older browsers (which make up an increasingly small percentage of the overall browsing population) may not get the full effect, but unless you know for a fact that a large number of your visitors are still using things like Netscape 4.x I'd say it's not worth the effort anymore. About 5 years ago, perhaps...but not in 2005.
