If its only to get around bugs in IE then id also have to say its ok, its the not the developers fault bill gates still cannot get anything right (well not bill gates but his developers, seen as he has shown alot of interest in web standards, his browsers still suck).
Anything apart from this id say no. If it cant be done, dont hack away and try to make something possible, you'll end up with a right mess.
