actually, I‘d even go further. What you describe is the current
approach; what we should do instead is drop IE6. That means: Provide
(that is: test) only the absolute minimum functionality: plain
text editing & HTML viewing. Everything fancy, like JavaScript, good
looks, whatever should not be cluttered with ugly IE6 hacks. Instead,
we should gradually remove those hacks.
I do not say this because I don‘t like IE6, but because supporting it
hurts contributors and other browser‘s users.
