w.r.t. educating users about web standards, lets be a bit more user-centered
design...

The question is whether when seeing a message saying something like "this
website looks much better with a more modern browser, go and download one",
the user is then willing to stop what they are doing, spend the next 5 hours
doing a fairly hefty download, run an install program that may significantly
alter the underlying OS (IE - the world's most pop. browser) *without* any
professional support/education/training, and then after all that resume at
the site and be massively impressed by some dotted borders.

Given that even webstandards.org has adopted a more pragmatic stance, I
think the evidence points towards users not being prepared to do this ;-)

Matt
