I'm looking at admin tickets, and I realize that some defined policy for when 
we can safely start to break IE6 would be very helpful. 

I'd like to simply declare that going forward, the admin need not work 
perfectly in IE6. That leaves our support footprint for the Admin at "modern 
browsers" + IE>7.

* contrib.admin is contrib, and thus not covered by Django's deprecation policy

* This isn't a change which affects any other frontend product built with 
Django. The only audience this affects is users of the admin. I think it's 
reasonable to require administrative users to have IE7 if all they have is IE.

The admin is already using the HTML5 doctype (see 
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/wJ9dnUDHUVI/ for 
background), but not any of the new HTML5 elements. 

This change would mainly open up the ability to use PNGs and remove hacks and 
workarounds from admin CSS/HTML

Any objections?
