Ruled by court: IE insecure
,----[ Quote ]
| I personally find this last conclusion contradictory (while I think the
| verdict in general is ok), as it somehow implies that negligence does not
| lead to liability when the negligent behaviour seems to be socially accepted
| cause a lot of people act in such a way. Social adequancy excludes
| negligence, as far as I remember my civil law classes, so using IE is either
| negligent or socially adequate (while not best practice).
