I second what Emil says.

If this were a company situation where you were being paid to support IE6,
that would be something different, but this is a public theme repository.
WordPress is and always has been about Web standards and pushing them
forward.

Moreover, almost every article I've ever read on decreasing page load times
has listed CSS expressions as something to avoid.
