Curiously, the web developer group at my company is
having a similar debate. Here the question is "do you
support what IE supports?"  There the question is "do
you limit the standards to what NN/IE 4 (or
3/2/1)supported?"

My answer in both cases is to do what your user needs.
In the case of Plucker, it would be nice, as a user,
if it could handle everything that the W3C has
promulgated plus everything that IE can do.  No, let's
go for broke - plus MacroMedia Flash ;-)

The question is not so much standards but audiences. 
If Plucker does not pluck a given site (e.g. because
of spaces in the URL) then the audience of Plucker
users will not see that site.  If the audience of
Plucker users becomes important enough, the site will
be fixed.  OTOH, the audience of that site's users
will not be able to see the site on Plucker.  If the
site is important enough to them, they will stop using
Plucker.  The truth is, it's going to be a looooong
time before Plucker is on winning side of that
equation.
