ike onTap: IE7

Many of us have wished for quite some time that browsers would support
the standards (and that the standards would improve), although while
browsers not created by Microsoft receive frequent updates, the latest
version of Internet Explorer is still several years old, and fails to
support a number of features of CSS2 for instance. Dean Edwards is
working on a set of "behaviors" (it's an IE thing) to make IE support
more of the standards despite Microsoft's apathy.

I'd seen this before, although at the
time it hadn't been officially released in any way, merely leaked by
someone who was quite excited to see it. I haven't tested anything of my
own with it, but I'm contemplating the possibility of bundling it with
the onTap framework core components. If you look at the downloads page,
you'll see he's also working on some XML bindings to allow Mozilla
browsers to use IE behaviors.
My thinking is that including these in
the framework's core components might make development of plugins and
other applications easier across-the-board. Thus when developing a
plugin which needs certain features not supported by IE or not supported
by Mozilla, your installer could merely check the current version of the
core framework, rather than providing instructions for downloading and
installing these separately. Or perhaps I should create a plugin just
for these.
Decisions, descisions...
