If we wanted to beat Microsoft at their own game, why not slip in compatibility with some of their features, like document.all. Would it be possible that when document.all is located and no branches for Mozilla are available in the Javascript, that document.all function as document.getElementById(). This would solve compatibility with the old Internet Explorer versions. Maybe this goes against the spirit of the browser but I think it would be great after 1.0 to support all the old stuff to say not only are we the most compatible with the W3C , but we also match the competition.
