I'm not opposing the withdrawl, but I do want to say (on behalf of Molly
Holzschlag) that there is a JavaScript library called HTML5 Now that is
supposed to "upgrade" browsers to HTML 5 w/o them actually supporting

be a newer one. Just FYI.

The updated version is the shiv at GoogleCode, referenced in my original email.
