I will suggest that we should support what our readers are likely to
be using.  As a starting point, I will suggest there are four
possibilities -

1. People using Internet Explorer, Safari, or whatever the win10
browser is called - I submit that they are "beyond the pale". and we
cannot cater for them.

2. People using an older version of LFS/BLFS who have decided that
they need to upgrade (perhaps after several years without updating
their systems).  NOt sure if anybody can test older versions of the
browsers (i.e. what used to be in BLFS), most of us will have
already updated.  This looks like a possible pinch point - I suggest
that people might need to upgrade to e.g. current firefox or
seamonkey (no doubt that will be a pain for anyone using an old
version of kde who does not have recent gtk+-2, but I guess it will
be easier than upgrading kde on the old system just to be able to
read hte book.

3. People using recent versions of BLFS, or those who have updated
their browser(s).  This is what we are testing.

And that is why you do not let designers specify how things must be
done, because they will take the newest and shiniest versions of
everything and set it in stone as a hard minimum requirement ;-)
