* How many people use Netscape 2/MSIE 3?
* If an author is targeting them, why is he using XHTML? Especially 
given that its known to cause problems when served as text/html in 
browsers which correctly interpret /> as end of tag followed by a 
greater than sign - browsers which I suspect have a market share at 
least as large as NS2/IE3.
* How do they react to CDATA markers in XHTML?

... and I manage to avoid event handlers in my HTML for any 'real' 
script (I dynamically add them at run time, which reduces maintenance).
