I am not arguing for a quick and easy solution, rather the contrary. BUT, I think that we need more data, experience and time.

that seems to trouble commercial Web sites, who seem to be continually
adding dubious "features" that require the latest and greatest browser, but
I digress...)
Again, I agree. That is why I wrote that we need a road-map so we know where we are going with the different solutions.
So sometimes it really does help to have some idea of what the long-term
path is going to be, to make sure that your short-term quick hacks aren't
going to get in the way of the long-term solution.
