RE: Make Microsoft follow the spec.

Be wary of CSS test suites, as IE6 only uses strict compliance when it gets
a <!doctype> in the referring HTML document -- this shouldn't matter much,
as to be strictly valid HTML, it should have a <!doctype> anyway -- or so
says http://validator.w3.org/ :o)

It's a shame, as my preferred test suite at
http://www.richinstyle.com/php/results.php has just fallen foul of this.


PS: Sorry if this is a duplicate, this is a resend as I believe the listserv
blackholed the first message due to our company changing the domain on
outgoing mail...

I would like to apologize to Chris Wilson for my comments about Microsoft
following the CSS spec. The description of the new CSS support in IE6
Preview at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/css/overview/CSSEnhancements.asp
proves me wrong as of IE6. Thank you, Microsoft.
