Also, regarding browsers that are tested on since IE7 was mentioned,

The question comes up a lot on the lists and I think the QA team should make
a decision and stick to only testing on a smaller set of the most popular
modern browsers. This would mean that no extensive testing be done on
anything like Safari 3 (Tiger), IE7 or Firefox 3.5. It would be good to know
about any problems so they can be worked around or features disabled but I
don't think we'd be putting much time into fixing issues for older browsers
and it doesn't seem to help the community as much testing on less popular
browsers.

At Michigan, the 3 most popular browsers as of 10/2011 are:
Chrome v14 (~30% traffic)
Safari 5 (~25% traffic)
IE 8/9 (~20%)

Firefox 6 & 7 (~15% traffic) and Firefox 3.6/4.0 (~10% traffic) are the 2
remaining.

Thanks!
