>From my experience, it isn't worth the effort. If as a provider/
application developer I'm going to push the edges of what is supported,
I would rather key off an accurate HTTP-USER-AGENT value. The only
value I see in having detailed version reports is it represents advertising
as to what the author believes might work so I might be able to get
attention for bug reports. Perhaps keys like solid=x-w3org-2 and
we-hope=x-w3org-3. It doesn't seem worth while spending time devising
standard ways to declare what might work. I measure expected and/or
required behavior and use a dictionary of known clients to record
required tweaks to the data stream.
