My professional opinion is that if people have trouble reading your web 
page now, then they won't visit it again in future except by accident. 
Don't cost your client any business just because you want to do 
something fancy.
Write your page for the lowest common denominator. Use a web page 
statistics service to see exactly what browsers and operating systems 
are visiting your page. When you know who's visiting then you can tailor 
your pages for them.
Writing different pages for versions 3 and 4 is certainly an option that 
many have done.
Take care and TTYL.
