The phrase "work with various browsers" is a copout, because it makes it 
sound as though every browser needs special attention. If the phrase 
were substituted by "work with any browser that adheres to industry 
standards", there would be a different face on it.

As it stands, it is scandalous: the guidelines for government standards 
say merely that you can adhere to standards if you like, but don't take 
that too seriously.
