Discrimination is not a good thing. But letting software loose on the 
world which is substandard is also not a good thing. There is little 
choise but to bend over backwards and support Microsoft's broken 
implementations of standards. With open source, you can scratch your own 
itch. So work on the Konqueror implementation of CSS is called for, 
alternatively use something that just works.
