I could see this being very useful. My one criticism is that I find the all-caps League Gothic much too difficult to read here. A non-condensed sans-serif would be a lot easier on the eyes.
Annoying that lack of IE6 compatibility makes "launch not advisable". It's hard enough to convince clients that IE6 must die. http://www.ie6nomore.com/

I like checklists, but I really prefer plain text that I print out and check off manually. It's just easier.

Investigate "aggressive degradation". It revolves around the principle of not stressing over delivering the same exact functionality - but delivering something that DOES work in its simplest forms. A GIF when a PNG would look nicer. Squared off corners when border-radius would look nicer and you can't be bothered with background images and floats (yes I am aware this is an IE-wide problem).
In 2010, after Microsoft sent flowers to IE6's funeral[1] we have been able to use that anecdote to persuade clients to go a step further and actively sign off that IE6 is not supported.
At the least, "Displays and functions correctly in IE6" should be defaulted to "N/A", which would also help make the "N/A" option more discoverable.

Anyone know what font that site uses? It's one of my new favorites, but don't know the name yet.
