On my sites (a tiny sample notwithstanding) MSIE 7 accounts
for roughly 33% of the traffic. MSIE 6 still accounts for 30 to 45%.
Maybe adoption rates for "modern" browsers at Western-language
sites are better, but I don't think as a general rule it is safe yet to
rely on all the selectors being handled correctly.
