Unfortunately, it probably dates from later than you think. I remember discussions on the weekly AJAX call about our support for IE and we agreed that disabling non-working features on IE was fine. That might not have been the most clever way to achieve that, and I agree that testing features is better than testing browser, but in that case, there might not have been a way to test a feature to easily work around the behavior (javascript is supported, but that actual JS would actually break IE). Anyway, I'm +1 on removing these special cases and seeing more clearly what is the actual state of things. -- Francis J. Lacoste francis.laco...@canonical.com
