Compatibility notes (ongoing, will evolve as I learn more)

• Placeholders in input box are not supported on IE 7-9 (http://caniuse.com/#feat=input-placeholder). This degrades gracefully so we don't need to remove it. If we want to support IE 7-9 with placeholders, we can either polyfill it inside the library or note it as a caveat (so that developers who integrate the library can choose their polyfill method of choice or ignore it).
• The element.querySelector() and element.querySelectorAll() methods do not exist in IE7 (http://caniuse.com/#feat=queryselector). This will cause the library to throw errors, so we must either work around it or polyfill the method.
• a JSONP response alternative might be required for old IE. (Would CORS support also help?)

Yo @riordan, IE8/IE9 support is ready for testing. IE7 will have to be not supported due to lack of JSONP primarily.

Sweet! Time to fire up the IE VM's. I'll take a look this evening.
