It would be great to auto-detect browsers (especially for dimp) and  
inform the user if their browser doesn't meet the necessary  
requirements and/or redirect to the appropriate imp mode (all browsers  
should be able to fall back to mimp).  But this sounds like the sort  
of feature that needs to be sponsored by a large organization since,  
quite honestly, they are the only ones who really need to have this  
level of support.
