I'm sick of moans about IE6. IE6 is old and sucks. We get it. Yes, around a fifth of web users use IE6. No, nothing can be done to force users and IT departments to move across. No, it's not Microsoft's fault. If you want to pull support, do it. Good luck to you. But having moan in the comments of tangentially related articles isn't going to help anybody.
It's got little to do with this (admittedly crappy) article. Standards take years to get implemented, if they ever do, but it doesn't mean that standards shouldn't be written for a time when they are supported, because that would mean no progress instead of slow progress, and that would be even worse.
