Clarity about  #108

The main github page says:

On UNIX-like systems, in order for the flashsocket transport fallback to work, root privileges (eg by running the above command with sudo) are required when running the server. This is due to the Flash Policy Server requiring access to a low port (843). This isn't strictly required for everything to work correctly, as the flashsocket transport is only used as one of several fallbacks when WebSockets aren't supported by the browser.

This is a little unclear to me. Since I don't expect to have root access, I would like the documentation to be a little clearer. It sounds like everything will automagically work even without root privileges, except that certain browsers won't be supported, is that correct? In any case, it would be very helpful to know what browsers will not work with django-socketio.
