For scripting support, the word support has a different meaning.

It does when scripting the UA. And as I am reading this from c.l.j then
it would clearly apply to scripting the browser and supporting NN4 with
script does take an extra effort.

That argument gets old David. Especially with regards to NN4.

User1: Uses Mozilla 0.9.xxx where it is an outdated Mozilla
User2: Uses Netscape 4

User1 gets told to update to the latest Mozilla/Firefox
User2 gets the benefit of the doubt and is presumed to not have a choice?

What category encompasses the "users who have no choice"?
