Re: Support for different versions for Mac

Safari, Firefox/Thuderbird/Seamonkey/Songbird/etc, and Opera all 
distinguish Intel and PPC on the Mac:

Safari
------
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_5; en-us) 
AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.20.1

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/525.18 
(KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.22

Firefox
-------
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) 
Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) 
Gecko/2008092414 Firefox/3.0.3

Opera
-----
Opera/9.62 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) Presto/2.1.1

Opera/9.62 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X; U; en) Presto/2.1.1


However, Safari's RSS reader doesn't indicate the OS or CPU type:

AppleSyndication/55

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
