So, has anyone mailed Molly H? Isn't she supposed to work with standards
compliance issues within MS?
Personally I think the best route to go for MS is to fix all bugs and
make "Standards Compliance Mode" truly compliant. And perhaps mimic FFox
and have an "almost compliance mode" for transitional doctypes, behaving
the same way as FFox of course when they see one.
Let's not give MS an excuse to keep behaving badly with HTML 4.01 and
XHTML 1!
