For the above reasons, I will not visit your site under any circumstances. Period.

Unfortunately that's not going to happen. Microsoft are more than aware of standards. The reason they are refusing to keep up to date is because they want people's websites to function correctly even if they aren't up to the latest standards. Too lazy to get the quote from the IE dev blog but to sum it up they want backwards compatiblity
