So I guess this represents the total universe of all browsers RHQ *could* conceptually run on. But there have got to be ones which we can strike from that list, e.g. IE6 (didn't we turn off generating the necessary javascript for that browser?), also I'd be amazed if RHQ still worked with FF2.0

I presume if we look at the subset that people have actually tried RHQ on it would look something more like this:

IE: 7,8,9
Firefox: 10
Chrome: 17
and maybe some recent version of Safari?

Though this list even includes versions not officially supported by SmartGWT right?
