Especially since it's more than just browsers on GNU/Linux that are
affected. Firefox on Windows, and Firefox/Camino/Safari/anything else on
Mac OS X, as well as browsers on other free OSes, all suffer from
IEcentricity.

The Co-Operative Bank website is perfectly usable under !IE, though
apparently not for business accounts.

I'm waiting for the day I can serve XHTML pages as XHTML and not get
