Can I suggest that we also have Bodington work reasonable well on IE 5.5 
as it has a reasonable marketshare still.

For WebLearn we had a bit of discussion about supported browsers and 
came up with:

Full Supported - Everything works as expected. Testing should mainly be
done against these browsers.
  Firefox (1.0+) - All Platforms
  Internet Explorer (5.5, 6.0+) - Windows

Well Supported - The whole site display correctly and is useable
although some advanced features may not work correctly, although there
should be work arounds.
  Safari (?) - Mac
  Opera (7.5+) - all Platforms

Working - These browsers allow you to use WebLearn but we do not
guarantee how it will display. All the information should still be
readable though and you should be able to use most of the functionality.
   Internet Explorer - Mac
   Opera Mini - Mobile Phones/PDAs?

Notes: All of WebLearn should work without any plugins and with
JavaScript turned of although it is perfectly acceptable to use these
technologies to enhance the experience (eg RTWEdit). Of course all we
can do is affect the tool, nothing at the moment stops users uploading
material isn't accessable.
