But that's what we already do when using the Automatic mode, which is  
the default. It sounds overhead (and annoying) to me, to ask the user:  
are you really sure you want to use this mode? If they explicitly pick  
a mode that's not supported by their brower, by all means, let them do  
that.

I don't know off-hand whether this check is still active, but we even  
already fall back to traditional mode if using the dynamic views with  
unsupported browsers.
