solve, since there are still many millions of people browsing with IE. I'm not interested in reaching just those who use my preferred browser.

As you say, you can work around it. Or, you can build your site for compatibility. The sites I work on sell stuff or services. Their success depends on visitor retention and conversion. I could give a damn about fiddly stuff. That's not the reason for the site in the first place.

I'm not primarily a site designer, though. I write the content for the sites. I leave the other crap to the designer, who is most annoyed when I find a problem when testing the site's performance in multiple browsers. He's gotten lots better at making them work in a world where the site doesn't dictate the browser the visitor is using.
