First, 80% is an off the cuff comment/estimate. Obviously its not that high, but it is still very high. I had meant to say 'feels like 80%'. When you work for a large company and the major decisions on visual design are made by other people, you have little control over how it looks or behaves, and only the freedom to code. Unfortunately, this breeds an atmosphere where people with little concept of the difficulties of implementing cross-browser designs are the ones expecting and demanding that they work in IE6 and "it should look like the picture from the design team." So yes, a site or feature that takes me hours or a day to code up and be proper in FF, Safari, and IE7 usually adds up to 4x the same amount of time to make it work in IE6. Not always, but often enough that it has become an issue.
