I'll tell you from past experience, even if you're writing for an internal
audience and the company line is that everybody is using IE, there are going
to be people using other browsers, particularly Netscape. At AMD, even some
of the programmers I worked with were loyal Netscape users, and I would get
questions from users who were trying to use IE-only Web-based apps rather
frequently.
Furthermore, I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in
the face as long as people refuse to learn it: Making "HTML" pages with
proprietary codes that only work in one browser is absolutely and totally
defeating the purpose of HTML.
