Yes, I thought about that, but one problem is that it's a fragile
solution.  There are things like the srfi docs that can link to such
files and changing them wouldn't be easy.  It's also fragile in the
sense that bugs would be very hard to find (I can easily imagine such
bugs frustrating people since they get the stupid links-not-working
behavior, and since it's in the browser, my guess is that most people
will assume it's some browser bug).

But more than that, the idea of going to such levels of hacking just
for the mess IE is in seems like a bad idea.  (Even if putting the
comments would be sufficient, I'd feel uncomfortable having them there
in all HTMLs for that reason.)
