(Make no mistake; the newest version of IE:mac's rendering engine is available on a subscription basis with the MSN:Mac browser, and is likely used as the HTML renderer for Entourage 2004. It's simply not offered free any longer.) I agree though, that a better statement would be: "We allow all browsers to attempt downloading from our website, but we recommend standards-compliant (X)HTML, CSS, etc. browsers for optimal results." Ideally that statement would also be followed with a link to at least one standards-compliant browser or a page that listed several.

My point was that it was interesting to see someone excluding IE, when it's usually the case that sites exclude Safari, Mozilla, etc. - all but IE! Either way, it's all silliness.
