well, you do have one customer who is using 8.5 - us. The problem with the scenario is that using xPages I have been able to create my own web app - something that I could definitely could not have done with "normal" Domino web programming (which is definitely my weak point). Just last month I updated one of our applications for the web. Here is a quick overview: We needed to update the app to allow an external person (a medical doctor) to access the data in the app. The application has prescriptions for our clients. We make a change in Notes, I then display the changes for the doctor using a xPages app. The doc then OK's the new medication. We administer the new medication. This is a quite complex app that I have been able to create with my limited web knowledge (you'll attest to that :o), some Notes client stuff and a couple of xPages.
My point is that xPages allowed me, a mainly Notes Client type of guy, to incorporate a web frontend into an application without MUCH knowledge HTTP/CSS knowledge.
I do understand that you Domino web/HTTP/CSS types might not really need xPages, for me its been a Godsend :o)
