I think I have answered the issue of standards compliance
Nope...
Besides this I have also demonstrated that browser discrimination:
* is required in many cases that are not necessarily scripting related
Nope, you've not shown that at all, you've not even attempted to.
* is supported by such standards by things like the ua string (and probably
by more in the future)
The UA string is not a standard, if you'd care to discuss CC/PP and
similar you can feel free to, first you need to demonstrate you
understand it, and the motivations behind it.
* Browser discrimination is a real need as long as various browsers do even
one thing differently.
Except you repeatedly demonstrate that you do not understand any of
the issues - IE 6.JFW renders pages very differently to normal IE6
which is much more similar to Konq. so UA string does nothing to
indicate how a page renders (UA settings, platform settings etc. all
have much larger impact on that)
So if you would care to demonstrate how to differentiate between IE6
and IE6 JFW or IE6 HPR then please go ahead, it would as always be
useful, however showing us scripts that include such things as the
script enabled versions of linux.
* It is better to deny services to a particular browser (and suggest a free
alternative instead) than have your site misrender embarrassingly on various
untested browsers.
Except you don't even understand the quite radical difference between
2 versions of Opera with near identical UA strings (even if not
spoofing) or between 2 browsers in different combinations. You've
failed to demonstrate any knowledge of web authoring beyond your own
troll nature.
I don't know why you feel the need to repeatedly troll the group in
your different guises, I know why I care that you don't spread this
disinformation that is showing that you really don't understand web
authoring.
Of course if you have real input to make, you could supply some URLs
which use your techniques and meet your aims.
Jim.
