I think you mean completely re-written.  I'd advise looking at how
much Mozilla has overrun and how many problems there are still with
Amaya (and although that needs a clean object model for style sheets, 
it doesn't do Javascript).

That can be an advantage.  Commercial sites will tend to apply an
80/20 rule - support the 80% of the people who will give you most 
profits and forget the rest.  People who run latest generation GUI
browsers are likely to be bigger spenders than people who run text
only browsers, so most commercial sites can only commercially justify
supporting them.

With a non-commercial site, you may be able to argue a case that the
sites goals are better met by providing a more accessible site, but
you need to start from the point of view that you must argue benefits
for them, not benefits for you.
