Sounds like you care more about getting browser developers to change their
software than the visitors to your site. I'm willing to break every design
guideline, recommendation, and contradict every expert if it benefits the
users of the site - that's who the site is created for. Now I agree the
design guidance is generally good, and experts are generally . . . well
expert. So they're worth listening to, but overall I'd rather have visitors
(and positive visitor feedback) than compliance any day.

This means nothing, it only matters if the user population changes to
another browser. I know that's beginning with firefox, but in the end unless
users object and switch browser the companies developing browsers won't sit
up and take notice.
