Specifically, are there known servers which will refuse to serve 1.0 clients? Script authors have had the option of opting into 1.1 for some significant time now. Basically, what's the chance of something accidentally not working due to advertising 1.0 versus something not working due to advertising 1.1? If the changes are equal, I'd *personally* err in favor of status quo since those needing 1.1 have already opted into it, those needing 1.0 may not have. -Sara
