Not wishing to put too fine a point on this, but that's also what was thought about IE7? I remember a MIX presentation talked about "major architectural changes" with regards to overcoming bugs on the "Explorer Exposed" list. And yet, from a web developer's perspective, IE7 is closer to IE6 than to IE7's contemporaries. After this experience, I hope you understand my caution. With regards to HTML5, I take it the opt-in switch would turn on any parts of HTML5 implemented in the targeted IE version? Changes to scripting, parsing, the DOM, HTTP and so on?
