The general consensus there is you now have to build sites for 3 browsers -
NN4.7, NN6 and IE4+ instead of just 2.<<<

That's because the people are thinking "NN vs IE" instead of "Compliant vs
Non-compliant".

You should need to build only for "IE4+, NN6+, Opera 4+, etc" and "NN4.x,
IE3.x, etc"

I usually degrade for NN4.x now, and target compliant browsers.  It was a
difficult decision, but a necessary one for my business model.
