 Replying to [comment:43 aaroncampbell]:
 > It's certainly not everyone, and I definitely think we need to code
 really defensively to make sure that we fall back to standard permalinks
 if we're not 100% sure pretty permalinks are working, but it seems doable.
 It also seems like a nice step forward for the web in general.

 Agreed on having a fallback if an install doesn't pass the test to allow
 pretty permalinks. But that would still mean some percentage of users that
 is much lower than 100% would have ugly permalinks as the default, and a
 percentage of users much higher than 0% would default to pretty, a
 definite win.
