The point of making compliant sites is that there is a certain segment of your website visitors that *cannot* use Internet Explorer to view your site:

1) Visually impaired users of screen readers

2) search engine bots

I always check my sites in lynx to make sure they make sense to people using screen readers.

In general, a screen reader compatible / HTML standards compliant site will outperform a non-compliant site, and will have longevity. That means when IE 7.0 gets released your site has better odds of continuing compatibility. IMHO.
