It would have held up things for a decade! It is just that many are jumping ahead with advanced features before details about the standard have been hammered out (these things take years).

Even those still using IE6 I suppose ;-) I guess that unlike VET, we have this luxury in the year 11IT area when we reflect upon audience etc. I secretly enjoy cross-browser conflicts we bump into for all the learning opportunities that they provide for challenging and teaching students.
