If somebody else wants to weed out old browsers, that's all fine and good, but that's not me...

Besides, if this is for an editor interface, for a specific client, one could reasonably demand that they use at least one of the newer browsers such as IE5+ or Mozilla. If not for a specific client, or subset of clients, but for a general update of an entire application that is open sourced, I agree with Jasper, don't touch it. :)

I personally don't think I should demand editors use a specific browser. I believe in customer choice.

NOAM CHOMPSKY --> Manufactured Consent just a loose cannon :-)

For that matter, *I* probably don't use a browser that does this right, being as I'm usually on Linux, almost always on Netscape, and very very very rarely do PDF and/or Flash work really right for me. And you know what? I very very very seldom care badly enough about any of the content I'm "missing" and when I do care enough to go get it, I'm disappointed by the content more often than I'm pleased that I took that effort.

I feel that - most of the all-signing all-dancing 'content' out there is less substantial as styrofoam and less interesting. and the next site that displays a PDF when I wasn't expecting it and I have to spend the next five minutes waiting for the b'std to load (with the alternative being to KILL the browser - losing all open pages in the process) ... might just make me snap ;-)

Again, this is obviously MY weird world-view at work here. :-)
