I don't really know, but I know well enough to say that 3% of my log  
messages are due to it. We should _not_ break just because we have a  
request from an HTTP/1.0 client. We _should_ do our best to support  
them. As nice as controlling every UA that visits your site would be  
nice, it is entirely unrealistic.
