A test matrix for browsers wouldn't be a bad idea but it's totally in 
our power to say "we don't support IE5.5" or simply not do anything.  
One thing I like about open source is that stuff that doesn't need to 
get done... often doesn't.  If someone doesn't care enough to fix 
something its a good idea to examine if its something that really needs 
fixing.
