a quick scout of the last months stats for one of the sites that I run

(uk-based, very heavily targeted at uk audience) reveals that v3

browsers account for 16% of our user base. and I'm strong reasons to

believe that we may have a more strongly v4+ biased audience than

average.


I think the problem is that there are a lot of people out there

developing who are not, as you say, "worth their salt". 


I have to point people at http://www.useit.com on an almost daily basis.
