You should be going through the pros and cons of supporting ie6, looking at their visitors, and figuring out (depending on the kind of site they have) whether it's worth it or not. After that, it's entirely up to them if they want to pay for ie6 compatibility or not. This is something you should be discussing with your client.

Gosh that would be great. Seriously Microsoft should get out of the browser business. Wouldn’t it be nice if Microsoft updated IE and it just so happened to use webkit? Gosh that would be great.

Not if I start it up again. We leave out compatibility of IE6 unless our client needs it. If they do, we charge an extra percentage on top of the HTML/CSS build. Easy. :-) “Period, end of discussion.”

As a web developer you bill your clients per hour. Would they rather you spent billable time on making the site better or making it look perfect on an obsolete browser?
