I think that being bigger than "those IE only sites" is a statrement in
itself. Why not promote the HTTP standard? IE is not 100% standard, so
why not say "This webpage is best viewed by a 100% HTTP 4.0 compatible
browser".
Now IE users can wonder on some things why it looks odd. They can query
MS about why IE is not 100% standard. What do you think?
As far as the law goes it is not an issue to be compatible with Anyone.
