One of the pillars of Web Standards is that "content" should be "Best Viewed With Any Browser". This principle is fundamental to Web Standards.
We actually adhere to this principle when we use the CSS "import" directive to hide CSS from Netscape 4 so that it's poor support for CSS is not going to interfere with reading the content of a Web page. The idea being that everyone has equitable access to content even though it looks different in different browsers. Mark, in my opinion, you can code to the strengths on any browser so long as the content is equally accessible to all browsers.
