I agree that browsers do not amount to the measure of all user agents. However, their HTTP behavior will appear in many applications, not just browsers. MSHTML, WebKit, and Gecko have been embedded in many types of apps. Some browsers are relying on OS networking libraries as well--Safari relies on CFNetwork and some Linux browsers use libcurl. - Rob
