Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

Make no mistake, Html5 boilerplate, Modernizr, and other libraries of that ilk get in the way of good web development, rather than enable it.

You basically proved my point. I suspect you're just resistant to new standards that are tried and tested, like many technical managers that I've worked with. You probably don't like any libraries, at like to write everything from the ground up.

Good luck with that.
