I'm predicting a huge discussion about the 'new' meta tag invented by IE. Justed wanted to say that I completely share Jeremy Keith's opinion here. The idea can work, but the default behavior is completely wacked and wrong.
I wonder why they did that, but I'm sure it will lead to some highly entertaining discussions.

It turns out that the meta tag will not be necessary when using HTML5.

The question remains: will IE8 still be of any importance when HTML5 is finished? ( finishing work estimated within 10 - 15 years... ! )
