If it only crashes IE, and you want to punish IE users, why bother wrapping it?

So that you can embed it in all of your pages secretly and get users to switch from IE to pretty much any other browser that actually follows web standards for implementation.

Right, but why write a wrapper that detects the browser for it? Just ... include it.
