In my experience it's not so much people choosing to use IE extensions
as simply things that don't cause IE to die. A lot of people's approach
to web design is to use some GUI web design software, never look at the
code it generates and only test it in IE. Given that html is an sgml
application (xml in the case of xhtml) I would have thought that it
wouldn't be totally unreasonable to expect authors of aforesaid GUI
tools to get it right. Stupid me. If you actually read the code
generated by many of these, not only is it invalid, it makes it very
obvious that the author of the tool had no concept what a markup
language is or what generally accepted good practice is.
Oh, incidentally, huge kudos to the OP for taking the trouble to do it
properly. He will make those users of his site who use anything other
than IE significantly happier.
