These are still big numbers for website makers to be concerned
with. It's no use trying to defend the policy you began with (you
know, the one where you stick your head in the sand and write
nice mark up that is nice W3C to the nicest strictness with no
wary eye on IE). When you start to feel some heat about this, you
turn up the volume on facts about the falling use of IE.
The Third Reich was very dangerous right till the end and it
would have been foolish for anyone to go around saying they
should not worry about it as it was a doomed regime...
