Actually, you've just described the single most important principle of good web design. The formal term for it is "graceful degradation." HTML was specifically designed for it, and you can see it in action if you look at the "embed tag within an object tag" format for calling the Java Plug-In. The idea is that a properly designed browser simply disregards content it can't deal with, and a properly designed page anticipates this, and provides as complete content, and as close to the intended user experience, as the browser permits. -- JHHL
