Not every site has a webdesigner constantly maintaining it. Retroactively
editing the millions of existing pages out there will cost an enourmouse

implementing it into new ones.

heres an alternative, instead of letting the sites break, add a meta tag
to them to fix them to an older browser version. "You don't have to modify

It seems that what is so quick and simple for one group of people to do is
somehow a huge task for the other group?
