I'm about to launch a data visualization site that uses D3 and Polymaps and,
consequently, a whole lot of SVG. What's the recommended way to catch users
who don't have SVG support in their browsers and give them something to look
at? All I need is a redirect or a link to a page saying "get a new browser".

It'd probably get 95% of the folks if I just sniff the browser and see if
they're running IE 6, 7, or 8.  But it'd be cooler to have some automatic
fallback or feature detection.
