Styling HTML5 markup in IE without script
There are some tricks to work around the broken DOM and limited styling in IE:
Know what the DOM looks like and target other elements than the new elements for styling.
Use the universal selector (*) to target the right element.
Use noscript.
Worse is worse
"The rest of the paper is an excellent analysis for why Lisp lost out to C as a programming language, even though Lisp was a superior language. Or at least superior on the grounds that Dick found most important. But this doesn't necessarily show that Lisp was in fact superior to C; it can just as easily be taken to show that the metrics that were cited in the article were not the ones that were taken to be most important by those choosing a programming language. The fact that C produced faster code, was easier to master, was easier to use in groups, and ran well on less expensive hardware were not considerations that Gabriel found important. But others did. On those metrics, the dominance of C as a programming language was an example of better is better, not worse is better."
