I doubt this is major. IE 5.0 was released seven years ago or some such. It's market share is next to nothing now.

There were several attempts to this, which ended with this message by Alistair Potts:
"OK, I've done some more work on this and it's a hopeless task. While you
can rewrite the pseudo-apply function to work, IE5.0 can't seem to work
out the length of the jquery object correctly.
But even if you get that working, IE5.0 doesn't support rudimentary
RegExp, e.g. "?=w".
It's time to give up. It's beyond a plugin to fix. John, if you read
this, don't waste your time with an IE5.0 plugin, there is more
important stuff to address!"
Here's what I use - it works for me, but I certainly don't use the full set of jquery methods. However, I think it covers most of the gaps.
Your mileage, as they say, may vary...
