Given that that document seems to state that much CSS2
works perfectly
fine with Konqueror, and that Konqueror users are a seriously minor
percentage of the world's users, a blanket ban on CSS2 simply because
Konqueror has some issues seems a bit over-the-top to me.
Of course, a work-around that doesn't tickle that particular Konqueror
bug would be preferable.
KHTML before the Safari (Dave Hyatt) changes were folded in was really not
very good with CSS and so forth. Of course, it wasn't nearly as bad as IE.
Graceful degradation in old and crappy browsers is absolutely essential.
Preferably without too much br*ws*r sn*ff*ng.
(Have a look at
http://mozilla.org/start/1.0/ and detect-problems.js - that
was designed to let things work beautifully in Gecko, degrade tolerably in
Opera and Konq 2.x/3.0 and go to far too much effort to work around the
stupidity of IE. Netscape 4.x, we just let break ...)
