I am quite late in coming to this, but this is very useful information which I’ve referenced in a post about writing web design contracts.
Personally I do not mind testing in older browsers. It is just a handful of additional screen grabs in Browsercam, after all. I also have learnd to avoid giving my clients the speech about IE6. At the end of the day, the IE6 issue is teeth-gnashing which we web designers do about a specific issue that is far beyond the comprehension of 95% of web users, and our clients neither need nor want to know about it. Harp on it too much and you risk offending a client by implying that they are doing something “wrong”.
