This module fails to add IE11 specific css class to the <head>.
The attached patch addresses this issue for now.
When the next IE version comes out, this patch may need to be updated.
What is the recommended approach to address this issue?

I think the correct way to get the version of IE (including IE11+) is shown in https://github.com/dojo/dojo/commit/f58c0e19ce509398985908688a768c8fb41191b8.
I also noticed that the "trident version" of IE11 is 7, and I'm also not sure what the trident version will be for IE12.

Bill, I am a bit puzzled... the commit that you refer to has been reverted. With the current version of Dojo (1.10.4), dojo/uacss still does not add any IE11 specific CSS classes to the HTML tag. There is no way of assigning particular CSS rules to IE11 or am I wrong?

@alexklaeser, you are right. Since dojo has decided to set has("ie") undefined for IE11+, presumably we should add a dj_trident.
Out of curiousity what CSS rule do you need for IE11?

Regardless, since this goes along with other IE11 support, I'll add it and backport to 1.7.

Thanks for your answer, Bill! Yes, that was the conclusion that I came to, as well, after reading the following article about IE11:
http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2013/07/02/internet-explorer-11-dont-call-me-ie/
Thus I added exactly the same patch yesterday evening to our system that you were committing now ;) .

Our bug with IE11 is documented here:
https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38225
We observed some display problems with IE11 and SVG graphics :( . Under some obscure circumstances, SVG background graphics were selectively not displayed. I decided to use PNG graphics for IE9+ instead, as I could not find any other sensible workaround. This problem seems to be connected to the following one documented here:

Ah I see, interesting bug. I was hoping IE11 wouldn't need any such workarounds, but I guess it doesn.

Me too... but I guess, that there will always be problems to run into, otherwise life in a perfect world would be too easy :) .
