[K12OSN] OT: Required use of IE by State DOE

[Steven Santos]

Can you aproach this as an unfunded mandate?

The DOE is mandating you use IE, will they pay for it?

  "Because it violates all the canons of good web design and is a stupid

    idea to boot" isn't a good enough reason?

  Nope, not good enough.  I tried that one 'way back when' and the response
was along the lines that  "we are based on MS and it makes sense to build
the solution around the architecture we have".  Thus, the need for a legal
argument as opposed to a technical merit argument.

  Sincerely,
  Dave Hopkins
