My bet is that Wachovia went to Corillian (their software provider) and 
demanded a fix. When you run a business on the Web, it is just idiotic to 
lock somebody out. You could even argue that it's a form of discrimination. 
If a browser is standards-compliant and meets security requirements, there is 
no need to lock anybody out. Period.
