Depends - does it really matter if the layout is exactly the same
for all browsers? For some sites, it won't.
If you separate your layout and presentational stylesheets, you
can get reasonable results even in NN4 (although there are
known probs with ie4.5/mac).
Take a look at
http://members.evolt.org/martin/
1) with IE5+ or Mozilla (it also suffers the scrollbar bug, so I'm
looking forward to hearing of a fix)
2) with NN4
3) With stylesheets off
you'll see that the content makes sense in each case because
the stylesheets are separated, and because the different content
areas are in a sensible order in the HTML
Cheers
