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 it. I think this is the script: http://remysharp.com/2009/01/07/html5-enabling-script/ But there might be a newer one. Just FYI
