If most Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 users would have Chrome Frame installed, we could use some nice HTML5 and CSS3 features.

I suggest we also try to prompt our IE users (23%) to install the plugin. It would look as ugly as in the attached screenshot, but may be worthwile and we can quickly remove it again.

Simple patch that does this.
