The baseline audience you write for on the WWW is always 100%. If you introduce things which reduces that, you should have really good reasons for doing so, as it's not very likely you'll reach more people if you do.

Note that some cache proxies (for example WebTV and AOL (as of Jan 1999) inflate the user count, as sequential hits comes from different IP addresses, even though it's clear it must be the same user behind the requests. I'm also hypothesing that there might be an advantage for a cache proxy to pre-fetch objects, so perhaps logs can indicate usage of objects no user requested.
