Current (3.x) (as of 11/2014)

IE... 8+ or 11+ ? leaning toward 8+ now
- argument for 8+: still the most popular browser in 2014 (aka lots of WinXP clients out there still). not anywhere near the pain to support IE6 was.
- argument for 11+ : folks still on XP after its EOL can use Firefox or Chrome, IE 10/11 are now available on Win 7
- eventually we'll go 11+ anyway, data points on the timeframe:
  - chrome on xp support ends april 2015
  - windows security essentials stops being supported on XP in july 2015
- probably 8/11+ but not things in between (9 is only on vista and server 2008, 10 is only on server 2012, MS dropped support for older browsers on a platform)
Firefox 31+ (38+?) (current/latest ESR)
Chrome 41+
Safari 6+? (latest running on the still-used OSX/iOS versions)
~~Opera latest~~ (still supported, but v15+ uses the same engine as Chrome, so not separately tested)
