      Proof that HTTP 1.0 is compatible with 0.9
    </h1>
    <h3>
      Assume:
    </h3>
    <p>
      version 1.0 has the version number at the end of the GET for
      the browser and inside an HTML tag for the server. Then:
    </p>
    <pre>
 Browser Server
 old     old      OK.
 new     old      new browser can handle 0.9 anyway.
 new     new      OK.
 old     new      old browser never sends anything
                  but GET string with no version number,
                  so then it must be 0.9.
