Re: Target browsers for web development

I agree with Julie and David (snips of their posts below) and can shed
some light on why we do what we do:

In our case--a large Australian university--we must design for version 4
browsers (well, Netscape 4.x anyway) since:
a) Netscape 4.x is the corporate browser for our organisation
b) Many other Australian universities use Netscape 4.x within the
enterprise and their staff and students are a significant part of our
audience
c) Our server logs indicate reasonably high usage of Netscape 4.x

Personally, I'd love to be able to author to W3C standards while
ensuring pages degrade with appropriate readability for version 4
browsers and below, non GUI browsers, and so on.
