This article leaves out the rather obvious Option #4: ignore Safari and develop to modern standards. Put up warnings about how Safari is broken like we all did when we decided enough was enough with IE, and that - if a user wants one's sites to not be broken - one should use something that isn't Safari (and, in the case of iOS, something that isn't iOS). The more developers who get on board with the "fuck you, Apple; if you want our sites to work for our users, then you need to fix your shit", the more pressure there will be from users for Apple to either fix Safari themselves or allow the installation of real alternative browsers on iOS, and thus the sooner either of those things will happen (or Apple slips closer to its pre-iPod days of borderline-obscurity).
