 IE usage is decreasing steeply, but is still just enough that we have to
 support it. One concern is that there is a disproportionate amount of
 screen reader users that still depend on it, as confirmed by the latest
 WebAIM survey: [https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey8/#browsers]

 With this in mind, it would be good to set guidelines for the level of
 support required for IE, so as to allow us to safely make use of newer
 technologies while guaranteeing accessibility for IE users.

 * If we allow the experience to degrade gracefully, what is the essential
 functionality that must be preserved?
 * What level of testing should be required to make sure everything works
 on IE?
