I've recently intentionally removed some of the hacks for making IE6 look sane in our apps. PNG transparency is the most obvious...so in IE6, our products have grey boxes around all the images. It still all works--nothing is impossible to do in IE6. It just looks stupid. This, of course, is the easiest thing to fix in IE6, so I'm still spending an inordinate amount of time making sure everything still works in IE6. But, it's my passive aggressive way to make it clear that IE6 is not an appropriate browser for modern applications.

I don't know that this does anything positive for the world, but it gives me a small piece of satisfaction. (Of course, IE6 is less than 5% of our users, so it's not really a revolutionary act.)
