Your bottom line really has more to say now than for some time. Merely
because of the so called Demise of XP sites are making their pages actually
display things like you will not be able to use this site unless you update
your browser. the daft thing is many sites do work, and many of those who
have recently changed it so it won't work have no special effectsthat
require html5 on them, Its just change for the sake of it in my view. Yahoo
and Google are doing it a lot.

I think (quite rightly) developers have lost the will to add tweaks and
bodges to websites for compatibility with old browsers, so now that
nobody with any sense is still running WinXP+IE6, they can ditch a lot
of the workarounds.

Large parts of the site may still work, may not be formatted properly,
though you would not be able to see that of course.
