FWIW, more and more of my company's current clients are also giving up
fighting <=v9 and saying, "okay, we'll require MSIE10+." In my recent web
work, we haven't had any strange problems with MSIE10+ except for
occasionally needing IE-specific CSS hacks (but that's only because certain
non-tech divisions place so much weight (==burn so much budget) on the
placement of every pixel, and not because MSIE10 fundamentally causes us
any problems).

That said:

a) we of course use jQuery, which hides many incompatibilities from us.
Fossil doesn't use jquery.

b) i opine that it "would be nice" (from a geeky perspective, not
necessarily a practical one), if fossil retains at least its basic
functionality (even if read-only) in non-modern/JS/CSS browsers.
