With name based hosts, anyone using a browser that doesn't support
HTTP/1.1 will not be able to access any site except the default (typically
the first virtual host).
Whether this is an issue depends on your user base. I believe Netscape 3.0
was the first version to support HTTP/1.1, it is generally not an issue
except for some tools like linklint or similiar scripts that don't support
HTTP/1.1. I've found adding support is usually a very minor thing.
