Chrome tends to get updated pretty quickly, though certain platforms may lag getting a new release into stable. Unless the final spec makes FF4.0 (and I don't know how much lead time it would take to get it in), then it is likely to exist there for some non-trivial period of time. I suspect at least one more intermediate version will see some deployment so we can get real-world data. The point is, these clients will still exist whether there is a version in new drafts or not. Even the question of whether you care about making them work is orthogonal to the question of whether to put a version on them or not. The only thing having a version does for you is to know which version of the protocol the other end is speaking, rather than having to guess from the information it sent. Unless you just send something and hope it works, you still ultimately decide "the remote endpoint is speaking v76" in either case -- what you do with it after that is up to you -- it could be that you drop the connection as incompatible, or it could be you speak v76 to it. -- John A.
