Who cares about that browser??
~15% of our users use it. If our goal is to make a broadly usable website, we care about it.
as long as a IE6 user is still able to read the text, it's ok IMO.
We need to weigh the interests of our users without regard to politics. A significant degradation for 15% of users is simply not acceptable to trade off against a slight improvement for the fraction of a percent who view equations on non-white backgrounds. Graceful degradation is okay, especially when adding new features. But making all equations look horribly blocky is not graceful, and can only be justified if there would be major gains for users of other browsers.
