Good technique; and where I go here may be out of bounds--but I think it warrants discussion: is there a browser version you can point to and say "look, I'm sorry, we just can't support that." In my opinion, IE 5.5 has not been "standard issue" since 2000 or early 2001 at the very latest; that is, it is at the very least 6-7 years old. I would hope, at this point, we can all agree that attempting to support Netscape 4.x (released 1998) or IE 4.x, and probably 5.x is just out of the question. But when is it reasonable for us to point to IE5.5, its broken box model, and its complete lack of support from Microsoft and say "Nope, not doing it." Quite frankly, I'm already in that boat personally, but I do see a lot of people still considering it at this point and I really do wonder why.
