Disagree. As I have said before design to the standard and don't 
worry about how it will render in every browser as you can't control 
what the end user will do or the browser they use. If it works on a 
text only browser it will work on anything.

Users can make the page appear they way THEY want, not the way you 
want. My default setting for IE (when I use it) is often with images 
, java, javascript, fonts, colors and cookies off and I override the 
fonts being used. I'm also tempted to override the page stylesheets 
and use my own so at least what I see will be standadised and not 
vary from page to page.
