For your audience, of course. The important thing is that as many people
as possible can access your site and get the information that's
there. It's no good if pages look lovely on my machine, and don't work
anywhere else, that's not my idea of "What Works".
The biggest problem at the moment is accommodating Netscape 4.x. It's
style-sheet support is buggy at best, so tables are often your only layout
option.
