[Radiant] Radiant Browser Support -- Drop IE6?

[Sean Cribbs]

I'm of the opinion that IE6 is going the way of the dinosaur.  Unless 
your client absolutely needs it, I would avoid bending over backwards 
for it.  IE6 support on the front-end is a different story (alas you may 
need at least minimal support for it -- still has approximate 25% market 
share), but I think it's reasonable to require modern browsers for the 
admin UI.
