Grepping for "insertAdjacentHTML" in 130K text/html pages (i.e. only 
looking at inline scripts) finds 146 pages: 
http://philip.html5.org/data/insertAdjacentHTML.txt

"outerHTML" is on 152: http://philip.html5.org/data/outerHTML.txt

So they're both used on about 0.1% of these pages.

(For comparison, "innerHTML" is on 5711 pages.)
