Pauk,
See : http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/
Apparently, later versions of Safari are a bit buggy,
and cannot handle HTML 4.0 as well as they should.
Safari version 1.2.2. (build 125.7) and later have some issues.
There's quite a few versions of Safari :
http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/uamatrix.html
I'd check to see the level of support which Safari's different versions have,
and make a decision as to which versions of Safari you'll support.
Supporting them all will be a nightmare.
As far as the "target browser", that won't do very much unless
you can pin down Safari's exact capabilities, so you can create
an intelligent browsercaps definition for it.
You could setup a clientTarget element, per :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/g
ngrfClientTargetElement.asp
but doing that for the different flavors of Safari
will keep you working for quite a while.
Maybe a good way to make sure Safari can read your pages would be
to check Apple's recommendations for building web pages, particularly
the XHTML section, which both Safari and Visual Studio support :
http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/bestwebdev.html
Smart use of CSS classes will help a lot, too.
Again, both Safari and VS.NET support it. See the above doc.
Maybe this will help you, maybe not.
If you want to support Safari, you'll have to sweat hard anyway.
Now for the bad news: as of ASP.NET 2.0, the whole browser
discovery/capability assigning paradigm changes once more,
so we'll have to relearn everything.

Nice job of scaring the hell out of everybody Juan :-)
Do you have any references to the 2.0 changes you referred to? This MSDN
article [1] is all I have so far.
