Grrr, doesn't stand this way. There is a great direffence between breaking 
standards (which is obviously not the case here) and not using or forcing 
those of them which are not supported widely yet among various clients. Also 
this is not the last resort option of yours, thus more challenges taken is an 
overkill. It is just an opinion of mine, it's up to you to.
