Generally, it seems like a good idea to me to test more heavily on older
browsers when backward compatibility is crucial, since the rendering and UI
type of bugs tend to go away rather than to appear over time. Obviously you
can't test something like layers in NN3, or frames in NN1.1, but those were
new features rather than bugs.
