At some point, HTML developers will have to entirely give up on Netscape 4.x. Is now this time?

Depends on what you mean. I'd say it also depends on the type of site and the audience.

It also depends on what you mean when you say "entirely give up support".
If you eg look at http://www.w3.org in NS 4 you will see that all CSS is hidden from it, but all content & functionallity is still accessible.
It's IMO a perfect example of how to deal with the NS situation in *most* cases (though check meow's reply).
Ie, treat NS 4.x as a non CSS capable browser and provide the text as if it was a text-only browser + images. that way you don't shut out those users that have no option to upgrade but don't waste a lot of time as well as limit your layout choises to get things working in it.
