Yes.

This is true; I detected the inclusion because it broke in a way visible on
Firefox but not code I had relative to IE. 

However, the CSS required to make it work on all platforms is not included by
default, so I wonder if documentation would be a good enough fix.

If worried about the conditional comments (I'd not used them before myself)
changing to the addEvent approach is IE only from what I can tell (admittedly
have not spent much time researching) and serves the same purpose.

Sure... that works for me but we still should update the docstring or
comments or docs...
