Tell them that when people start using IE 7 real soon now, and it gets
thrust onto all their customers as an update, it will be fully stnadards
compliant, and therefore will not work with their site (or as Microsoft
and customers will put it, their site will not work with IE).

CHanging it to standards complaince, most easily testable with Firefox,
will future proof them against that, lost trade, and having to deal with
MS Channel website revampers who will be bbusy with others and therefore
charge more.
