Can somebody verify this?  The wiki says it's a Prototype limitation
rather than a Scriptaculous limitation, but Rico is built on Prototype
and claims IE 5.5+ compatibility.

Speaking of Rico, did anyone check out the dynamically updating
scrolling list example?  That could be a pretty cool feature for the
message list / address book widgets rather than using paging.  Could add
shortcut links to jump to specific points in the list as well (by last
name, date, etc).

Are there any browsers out there that don't support the XMLHttpRequest
object, yet still support the necessary DOM functionality for a rich
client interface?  i.e., it's a good marketing point, but does it have
any import in the real world?
