> My ultimate goal though is for it to be presentable in IE7 with a top notch experience in anything newer, makes it a little easier.
I think that's the exact right attitude.
I work in an environment that supports back to IE7 and I really get a kick out of creating robust solutions that work in crappy or older browsers.
Admittedly I work with web sites, or simple applications, rather than full on web applications, but I find starting with sensible HTML/CSS/JS and using progressive enhancement usually gets me 95% of the way there.
