The Surfin' Safari blog writes:

We strongly recommend looking for the AppleWebKit string and its version number, *not* for Safari

Apple's Safari FAQ writes:

If you need to identify the exact browser and version of clients accessing your site, use the AppleWebKit/XX portion of the string.

And lib.js on apple.com says:

this.isSafari= (agent.indexOf('safari') != -1);

Makes you wish browser vendors had tried suing browser sniffer authors back in 1996, rather than adding elaborate workaround strings to their UserAgent information. Seriously, authors should try a lot harder to not use name sniffing.
