Comment(by jane):

 I was at a panel with one of the guys behind Bespin last week and he said
 flat out that Bespin was created knowing that they didn't have to worry
 about IE based on their audience. It was a Canvas vs Flash panel at sxsw,
 and though it looked cool, it looked very niche in availability based on
 our general audience browser stats.  I don't think we can use Bespin
 unless we are going to try and be trailblazers for Canvas/HTML5 and
 basically pull an early-2000s web standards trick and just say 'your
 browser sucks, upgrade,' which is sometimes tempting, but would be a
 bummer for users who don't get to install software on their machines and
 are stuck with pre-9 IE (schools, libraries, government agencies, etc).
 Injecting a Chrome frame into IE is their workaround I think.
