I don't know. If its designed to be that open then I'd think that is a
possibility that it could alterable in some way.
If out of the 1900 add-ins only 10 allowed the possibility that something
could be different tehn thats potentially a hundred 'new' browsers that
technically should be tested against.

I gave up on the AOL one years ago, its a complete POS and I know for a fact
that parts of some sites I have done fail using it in certain versions. It
educates users away from AOL when things dont work for them properly, which
I see as a good thing :-)

I've never encountered the other two browsers mentioned, never noticed them
in the server logs either!
