Daniel I feel your pain.  One of the first gigs I got in automotive was to SEO a Cobalt site.  You're handcuffed at the start for any on-page optimization because of the template system.  And then, they sanitize the code you can submit so what you think would look good gets mangled for the sake of security. 


A few years ago I tried to install a Wibiya toolbar on a Cobalt site.  It worked fine on every browser but IE.  This was an IE quirk with rendering pages of a certain doctype. Come to find out they used the 4.01 Transitional doctype declaration.  By simply changing to 4.01 Frameset which is identical to 4.01 Transitional with the added benefit of supporting frameset content.  For 2 years we tried to convince them to switch it.  We were met by the great stone wall of Cobalt.  And the rep would then tell the dealership that it's our fault.
