    You would have to find a good definition of “all browsers”, and I think that would be nearly impossible.

    I absolutely agree that governments should support Firefox, that’s a reasonable claim. But do they need to support the earliest version of netscape? Or the browser I made as a hobby project last week and published as open source? There’s a limit to what’s reasonable and workable.

      Specific versions of basic standards would do. HTML forms, as another comment says. With tables and CSS which doesn’t make it unusable if your browser doesn’t support CSS.

      Conforms to a specific revision of HTML with a specific revision of JavaScript and css, also requiring it to not use any proprietary extensions of either HTML or JavaScript.

      Or the government could just use PDFs and email, I think that might be able to accomplish all the functionality of most websites.
