Reread the article; waiting for Siebel

Says they're going to start out with IE-only until they can get an update for their Seibel software. Makes sense, except that they're definitely Seibel-dependent.

Quoting:

In its request for comments, the office made clear that it plans to support other browsers in the future. In an interview, an attorney with the office said that the sticking point was Siebel software that guaranteed compatibility with only selected browsers--including both IE and Netscape 7.02, a browser with negligible market share--in the current Siebel 7.7 software.

The Copyright Office said it planned to upgrade to Siebel 7.8, which supports Netscape 7.2, Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla 1.7.7, but not in time for the Oct. 24 launch.

Neither the Copyright Office nor Siebel said they planned to support other browsers like Opera or Apple Computer's Safari.
