Your home page doesn't determine the standards for HTTP. :-P

For one thing, if I manually telnet to a host, I'm much more likely
to use a 0.9 request than a 1.0 one because it's fewer characters
to type.  Why would anyone use telnet?  What if you want to test the
web server on a machine over a remote login connection and don't
have lynx or w3m installed for some reason or another?
'telnet foo 80\nGET /\n' is easy to type.
