Following that logic, it's poor practice to develop anything in HTML5 since IE8 and below won't support it without a JS shiv that won't work with JS turned off.

Half way through 2012 now, I've come to accept that anyone who is using a service like airbnb with IE6, or with JS turned off can just miss out. I'm not prepared to deny the 90%+ users a superior user experience in order to support buggy, insecure ancient browsers that should have died years ago.

It's time to look to the future. The IE6 crowd can be happily left behind.
