if cingular.com crashes your browser, then it's your configuration and system, not the site. it works fine for me on all systems - XP/IE6, XP/Mozilla, Linux/Mozilla, Galeon and Konqueror.
backwards compatiblity is an ok idea in theory, but in most cases it is more cost intensive than dealing with current, standard implementation.
i agree with vena's approach. it is a viable solution. architects and contractors have been doing things like that for years. if a client wants something that is older, harder to construct and more labor intensive then the client gets charged more.
asking a client to download and install the latest browser version is a lot easier than you spending an extra day making a site work, in whole, across deprecated technology.
the problem with web design is no standards and droves of "designers" who continue to do things the wrong way. once designers except the correct way to work and swallow their ego and childish pride and commit to standards, then browsers will fall in line and so will clients.
a lot of people are, in fact. web services depends on standards and compliance across multiple systems and configurations...the only way to acheive this level of development is through standard, valid and well-formed markup, lightweight css layouts and standardized scripting (ie, ecmascript).
