How is a standard compliant site supposed to work in a browser which does
not support standards? eg DOM?  If I use getElementById, which is in the DOM
standard, should I insert non standard code so the site works? eg
document.all, document.layers?

If the site uses CSSP only, then I agree - it will degrade and using
positioning it will degrade nicely. However, I think that misses the point -
standard compliance means compliance with all standards, not just the ones
people can see.
