From Switches to Targets: A Standardista’s Journey.
Eric Meyer, also writing at A List Apart, is not in favour of Internet Explorer 8’s version targeting feature:
As I read through Aaron Gustafson’s Beyond DOCTYPE: Web Standards, Forward Compatibility, and IE8, my immediate gut reaction was deeply negative. The version-targeting mechanism Aaron described was just wrong, completely backwards, the exact opposite of what we ought to be doing. Every one of my instincts, honed over a decade-plus of web development, was in opposition.
By the way: Standardista? As in barista? Love it.
