A reasonable caveat thanks.  It seems entirely feasible to implement 
needed behaviors based on user-agent; at least it would with Apache.

Feel free to test against http://lab.osaf.us/cosmo/, where mod_deflate 
is enabled with no special treatment of browsers (so it should break on 
IE6).  We can confirm both broken behaviors and server-side exclusions 
of specific browsers when I get to it.

Just saw Adam's suggestion, which seems workable as well.  I had 
originally envisioned having browsers just request dojo.js and have the 
server negotiate resources, instead of browsers requesting different 
versions.
