Implement "Safe" Solutions

An alternative is to use "safe" technologies which are backwards compatible and avoid major browser bugs



• Attractive sounding compromise position
• Lose some functionality, but not all
• Can be difficult or expensive to find "safe" options (does .margin-left work on IE on SGI?)
• Tools may not allow safe options to be chosen
• Lack of validation tools for checking conformance with restricted set of specification
