Basic Splash Page that degrades (though in my case it can't degrade

I don't want to emabrk upon a a tangent taking us off the focus of
this list, lets say I had a list of known bad browsers and they get
put to Junk/Old Skool site and all others go to the full xhtml
experience (others later can view the full flash experience)
Since this is a music media site the main user base are expecting
glitz n glamour, bells n whisltes a plenty. Not giving them this
is against the wishes of the site owner.
The key unknowns about your proposal are:
- what browsers are included in your list of Bad Browsers (and how
much of your audience is that)?
- what do you mean by "full XHTML experience"? What XHTML features
are you using that your Bad Browsers can't handle?
- does the site owner agree that this is worth doubling the
development costs?
