It is arguable that the number of people using older browsers can be
described as "a lot of". To my knowledge, the number is >5%.
It is also arguable that it is more important to send a message by not using
a proprietary "standard", than to maintain compatibility with old software.
If we thought different, we wouldn't have *any* graphics on the web pages,
since not all people can see them.
Although it's not a big deal after all... let's just get the logo in place :)

What if I sent you an e-mail, how I can't see the image since I use Lynx
over a VT102 interface, every time I went to the rel-crit-bugs page?
