[Web4lib] Browser ennui

[nancy]

I manage a website (not the library's) that uses a Joomla module that does
not work in IE8, so I had to add this code into the head of the site:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

So, it does seem that, at least with Internet Explorer, we should not assume
all will be well with each new release.
I single out IE not so much because of issues of standards as the fact that
a website must work in IE.

Maybe it's not so much 'ennui' as the fact that browsers increasing are 
built to a standard.  Once that happens, it's the standard where all the 
action is, not the piece of software that happens to deploy it.
