Your hesitation is understandable. Using quirks mode for better standard
compliance and behavior in one case, _may_ ruin whatever else you have
if it's marked up and styled for standard mode only.
IE5/5.5 will always render in quirks mode, so if you have access to any
of those you can see to a large degree how much a mode-change may affect
your work - unless you have already made lots of corrections for those
older versions.

The bottom line is really that I prefer to create "mode-independent"
layouts, with as few mode-induced differences as possible across
browser-land. This mindset tends to minimize design-problems to begin
with, but there will of course always be problematic cases.

I'm sure there are, but you may have to rebuild your entire case more or
less from scratch to avoid IE6' "standard mode bugs" without disturbing
better browsers/versions.
Someone else may chime in with a solution for IE6 in standard mode, or
else I'll have a second look at your case as soon as I can find the
time, and see if it can't be made to work in a mode-independent way.
