If the bug is that the original target of events in safari can be a text node within an element rather than the element itself, then why would it matter if you run it for other browsers? In this case you are fixing a bug that happens to appear in one browser, but why limit the fix to only that browser? What if another browser based on Safari comes out but has a different user agent string and isn't recognized by jQuery? Wouldn't you still want the bug to be fixed? What harm would it cause to leave out the browser check? This and a few other places seem like situations where the bug is known to exist in only a single browser, so the fix is needlessly targeted to only a specific browser using unnecessary browser sniffing. Or are there other reasons that I'm not aware of? Matt Kruse
