I'm using the DOMParser to manipulate AJAX-loaded html content before injecting it into the DOM. caniuse state that current support is good, but doesn't go that far back - for IE with only partial support until version 10 and for iOS only full support in Mobile Safari from version 8.1. But in this post the claim is made that it will work all the way back to IE6 (no mention here about mobile browsers). So, my question is: If one uses window.DOMParser or the ActiveX version Microsoft.XMLDOM what kind of coverage will one have? Will it cover IE back to IE6 as claimed in the linked post or is that too optimistic; and roughly what proportion of mobile browser users would one exclude requiring DOMParser support - pur in another way: is the mobile platform ready for DOMParser-supported applications?

If you use something in the spirit of
try { Microsoft.XMLDOM } else {window.DOMParser}
You will be good as far back as IE 6. But three years later I hope you do not need that support anymore :)
