Evangelism effort and 1.0 release

In an effort to have more website working with FireFox 1.0, the mozilla foundation decided recently to add support for document.all. Up until recently I did not really realise what that meant. But this morning I read a very interesting post by Pascal Chevrel. Pascal is a member of the french evangelism team. He has been working for some years with webmaster that create poor content : content viewable only with IE. The evangelism guys have been mailing webmasters, compagnies for years saying " the best way to make viable web sites is to support open standards". Once in a while I encounter a web site not working either with Camino nor Mozilla, I usually file an evangelism bug - the webmaster is contacted and the evangelism team explain to him what standards are and why he should support them.
With FireFox 1.0 approching and The Mozilla Foundation reaching out to end users, they decided to add partial support for document.all which is not an open and documented standard, in order to get a few sites to work better in FireFox. The idea might seem fine in the end users persspective, but it means throwing away years of evangelism effort. If FireFox supports document.all, why can't it support another quirck feature from IE ? I think the Mozilla Foundation should have worked the other way around - There is actually a trend for end users to switch away from IE, so when FireFox 1.0 is released people will download it, will try it. If Mozilla Foundation wants FireFox 1.0 to be succesfull (and I believe it will), the release needs to be rock solid, and there should not be any 1.0.1 update the week after the release. Since users are willing to switch, website's stats will change from being 95% IE to say 75% IE and I think this shrink in IE market share will be fast. 25% of visitor not being able to view correctly the site is a big enough number, so that webmaster can get some money to make the site more standard compliant. I think that the coding effort done on supporting something like document.all should be spent on bug fixing. It would be better spent in a .msi installer for FireFox windows so enterprises could deploy the product very easely.
Now if you agree with me that support for document.all is a bad thing or should be think twice before making it in FireFox 1.0, you can help the evangelism team. They are currently visiting all those sites that use not to work and or trying to figure out how much in % the document.all support would make work. If that number is small they'll have an argument to remove document.all partial support. You can help they are thousand of site to visit and time is running short.
