That's not exactly the same.
By default we are neither "IECompat" nor "NetscapeCompat".
When the user chooses a IE useragent, we set the former flag, when (s)he se=
lects
an NS useragent, we set the latter - and only in that case we disable docum=
ent.all.
So at the moment we do support document.all by default.

But given the recent discussions here, and the crazy stuff some sites send =
to
IE (VBScript, ActiveX, etc.), and given also my misunderstanding about=20
document.layers, I'd be fine with this being changed in Konqueror, so that
document.all is only supported in IE mode (this would simply mean changing =
the
above test to
if ( compatMode() !=3D Interpreter::IECompat )

Then we will hopefully get DOM code from (recent enough) websites
instead of IE-specific code.

Nothing's 100% for sure in this web jungle, but it's worth a try ;)
