Which is not at all surprising.  I don't remember the last time I grabbed a
piece of code that actually cared about the browser identification. 
Generally, programmers test whether a particular javascript construct works
or not - but then assume that because "X" worked we're using IE or, if it
didn't, we're using Netscape (Mozilla).  Of course, Konqueror has a
different (more correct!) list of things that work, so sometimes works if
the IE code gets executed, and other times works if the Netscape code
executes.
