i'd say that not only have you tried, but you've been successfull...
more often than not, just taking the step toward accessibility solves
more problems than you know...

you've probably gone above the call here, and it sounds like it can
handle most situations pretty well...

clearly there will always we exceptions... the fact that you know
*when* and *how* it will break is also a step up... too many
developers don't know how their sites will break...

in the absence of support for some feature/bug/browser/user, i
maintain that you, as a developer, should know how something will
break, and do what you can to make that break as palatable for you
and your users as possible...

sounds like you're there...
