That´s a great idea.

But then you should only support the latest versions of those browsers.
Do not support browsers running on Windows boxes since it is insecure and people shouldn´t be using it anyway.
On second thought do not even support MacOS since those Apple guys want to make money and that´s not something that ought to be supported.
You might consider banning Linux users to since there might be some securety issues as well.
Mozilla? I don´t think so. Too heavy, needs fast computers with lots of ram which consume lots of energy. We cannot have that in the US anymore with Kyoto and all.
Lynx? Yeah that´s ok, however, ...

I don´t think that´s a good idea. I do unterstand the need to ban those email harvesters and offline browsers, but allowing only known browsers is not the way to go.
