We can sacrifice *some* compatibility for *some* long-term goals. We do it
all the time, even Microsoft. It's all about tradeoffs.

In this case, I'd like to see a list of specific routers, sites etc that
triggered the implementation of fakepath in Opera and IE. I'd like to
crosscheck with our Bugzilla to understand why we haven't felt the need to
do this in Firefox.
