Oh, how embarrassing :-)

In my defence, I didn't know the names of any of the writers of Dojo, and you don't seem to have an about page that says "I wrote dojo" anywhere. Relying on everyone on the Internet to already know who you are may lead to this sort of thing :-)

You're right that I should make it clearer where people are. This blog recently moved from "alex.dojotoolkit.org" to this new URL, and I didn't add any new identifying information in the move. I'll see how I can fix that.

Anyhow, I didn't come to my views on browsers without first considering a lot of other options. I just don't see how we're going to significantly improve the rate of change without more leverage, though, and that leverage comes from upgrading browsers -- one way or another.

I see your point. Obviously getting people to upgrade their browsers is the solution, the question is how to do that. I just don't think "developing exclusively for the future" is the responsible or practical way to do that -- though I may be reading more into that phrase than you intended.
