That is really the core of the discussion.  It would be quite helpful if
some large webhoster out there could do a study to determine the number of
non 1.1 browsers are still in use.  I don't work for a large webhoster
anymore or I'd find out myself.  All I know is that it's been a long time
since I've seen anyone using an older browser, and that's amongst my
non-technical friends and family members, not necessarily geeks that are
always running the latest and greatest.
