If we take the Web as 25 years old, then Internet Explorer 6 is part of

IE6 is now less than 0.25% of web requests. Adding any sort of
support for it is pointless.
Using IE6 to test a web page is perfectly reasonable.
If it doesn't work in IE6, it uses more complex/esoteric features
than what is necessary and should be used in the first place.
The server obviously fails the golden IETF rule "be conservative
in what you send out" (as HTML) and the server ought to be fixed.
