Hi,
> Problem:
> IE6 might not be supported in future versions of TYPO3.

> Solution:
> Add a warning to login screen.
- I'm not a native English but I would have written "Beware" instead of "Attention"
- The new text is not related to IE6, therefor I suggest to use another key for it, e.g., WARNING_BROWSER
- Furthermore, errors start with ERROR_ and do not end with _ERROR, meaning WARNING_IE6 instead of IE6_WARNING would still be better but I'd like to remove "IE6" completely
Regarding the test itself, you wrote "[if lte IE 6]" which is correct but I'd prefer using same test as on [1]:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
...
<![endif]-->
It is "officially" supported by people having code tested on all browsers.
Note for testers: it's easy to test with "multiple IE" [1]. Test should include other browsers too but I personnally tested the condition with [if lt IE 7] on Safari, IE6, 7, 8, Chrome and Firefox
(Mac + Windows when possible) and it works. Thus +1 by testing once the test is with "7" instead.
