User-agent sniffing is a bad practice - it's inaccurate, hurts minority
browsers and is not forward-compatible. Please change your method to use
Accept header, so it won't be affecting any HTML-only user-agents (web
is more than a handful of desktop browsers). Accept method will even
work for MSIE and Lynx when/if they start supporting XHTML.
Even your regular expressions for User-Agent aren't doing exactly what
you intended, because mod_rewrite does not anchor patterns.
While I totally agree that browser sniffing isn't a way to go, I must say
that Accept headers cannot be used to resolve this because MSIE claims to
support */* in the Accept header that it sends.
