John, Would you be including some of the world's largest education systems, where roman numerals have never been part of the curriculum?
There's a lot of smart people on this side of the world that probably wouldn't know a roman numeral if it had a big neon sign on it saying "ROMAN NUMERAL." It most certainly does not make them subliterate. Some of them probably cannot even read this e-mail and will never need to, let alone find it necessary to learn a dead number system that for some unfathomable reason gets tacked on to the end of movie credits.
