Personally, I think your pages look great as they are now! :-D It doesn't seem anymore that anyone pays attention to those W3C kooks. Anyway, I understand your shift to standards compliance and i was glad to help you but sadly, I do see some demons.

The aforementioned Netscape bug is especially brutal but that JavaScript insert is a wasteful, unneccessary hack. "Let's dare to be JavaScript free." (Right, Petruchio?)

While cookies are an option, another simple thing you may want to consider is simple CGI browser recognition where you send me and Mozilla 4.7 folks to the non-CSS page and the rest (or those that can handle it) to the "new" page. Frankly, I don't see a whole lot of benefit from cookies unless you've thought of something impressive that I haven't. Honestly, at least in my iCab, your page looks great right now as it is. I'd prefer to use that despite its HTML pitfalls rather than some JScript hacked, variable CSS, cookie monster.
