Now. If nobody does it browser vendors will never bother. We have to
break the chicken and egg cycle.

The more important question is when will companies update their
infrastructure when new browsers come out. The big obstacle to *any*
innovation in the web right now is IE6 and the companies that don't
upgrade because they painted themselves in a corner with really
shortsighted development five years ago.
