I think you missed Wade's point.  Cross-browser compatibility is not
another task to do which requires a priority.  It is just something you
need to consider when doing your initial development.  It doesn't have
to require much more time at all.

Don't just blow through an IE only design, just to find out later you
have to rework the whole thing to get it to work with standard browsers.
 That kind of development may save you a small fraction of time in the
beginning, but waste a great many hours later getting your IE hack job
to work in the rest of the worlds browsers.

Save time and design your applications to standards that work
everywhere.  Don't think of Cross-browser compatibility as a step.  It
is only a concern to have, like coding standards, design goals, etc.
