I don't think this is such a big issue.  As I understand it there are 
versions of IE (and probably also Mozilla) that work fine under OS X, and 
that will surely continue to be the case for a while, even without active
support from Microsoft.  The javascript problems in Safari are clearly
bugs rather than disputable incompatibilities, and they embarrassing in
number and importance, so they will surely be fixed in the next release.
