"Standard" browsers?

There is a pretty good thread on the subject of browser statistics over
on slashdot at http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/12/1823232 -
the bottom line is, the answers depend on where you look.  Most
statistics are captured for specific web pages, so they vary all over
the place.  YMMV.

What these specs appear to tell us is that 30% of the people who view
the W3C Schools' own website use Firefox, which doesn't seem to me to be
the same as "the browser market."  It doesn't surprise me that w website
devoted to web authoring would attract a fairly diverse set of browers,
but I wonder what the same logfiles from some mass market site like
Amazon or eBay would tell us?
