That's an absurd analogy, and you know it. "ANY BROWSER" compatibility
simply means avoiding browser-specific nonstandard constructs, and
designing pages to "degrade gracefully" with older browsers.

It's no different from what I've been doing lately in QuestView: even
though many of its newest capabilities are meaningless on less than a
V4R2, V4R4, or V4R5 system (in at least one case, it can recognize data
that can only exist on, I believe, V5R3 or later), it will still run
perfectly well on a V2R3 box.
