I'm not dictating what anyone else should use, or even what they should
specifically work to support. I'm simply expressing contempt for the
view that it's acceptable behavior for web designers to dictate what I
or anyone else use. As far as citing authority, I'll hand the mic over
to Tim Berners-Lee, a.k.a. The Guy Who Invented The Web:

"Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on
a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web,
when you had very little chance of reading a document written on
another computer, another word processor, or another network."
