I think changing site layout is a big step. more so if it moves things
around, less so if it just changes fonts and padding a bit...

depends heavily on what you do. Netscape 4 and IE 3 have pretty sorry
implementations of CSS so you have to do a bunch of hacking around them (this
has been documented by all-CSS sites like http://www.alistapart.com when they
switched) and implementation of the cooler features is still a bit patchy.
But I wrote basic commercial sites in 1999 with all-CSS they were ok.

(I am sympathetic to people who say "I don't want to change from iCab to KDE,
I will live with the lack of 'float'", but I am also happier than many to say
"if you use foo3.5 when foo7.2 is available and doesn't have the bugs your
old version does, upgrade or tell someone who cares...")
