The problem comes in when the client might not even know what a browser is (sad but true). You can explain it to them, but it can still come back and bite you... especially when their nodding was merely them trying not to look like they don't have a clue what you're talking about. Sure different sites have differing levels of modern browser using visitors, but I'd rather include it by standard practice than to have it as an addon. If an audience doesn't require it, then by all means; progressive enhancement for the win! I hear you. The problem comes in when the client might not even know what a browser is (sad but true).

I wish that Google would go ahead and block IE 6 users, this would surely be the death knell we have all been patiently waiting for.
