Nonetheless, some of us use Netscape 3. And I still use Netscape 4 while
waiting for stable Mozilla.

And, of course, those who has something to say use HTML 3.2 ;-) Everything
else is for special needs. Usually sites with "heavy design" are empty
information-wise and on the contrary, those who has good content to share
could use simpler means. I really hate when site is using some js instead
of a-href.
