Could you explain the need for web sites to update their Silverlight.js? I ask because, for instance, Flash sites kept working fine in Firefox 3.

Why punish the places that have adopted Silverlight by having them break by default with FF3 (or new Safari, or Opera, or whatever)? What happens when FF4 comes out and a million sites have adopted Silverlight but then none of them work with the new browser?

Putting any of the new-browser-support burden on webmasters seems like a bad idea. If it's a one-time breaking change early on in Silverlight and future new browser versions won't have this problem, that's fine, but it'd certainly be good to have it explained as such if that's the case. After all, the whole automatic-update of Silverlight on the client seems like it should be sufficient to have things Just Work when new browsers come out.
