ok that's a good start. So we are talking about 50% of Web pages
(which is indeed a lot)
[quirks mode][1]:
* ie box model
* vertical alignment (most of the time explicit fixed in CSS)
* font styles in tables
* …
I wonder
1. how many of these 50% pages have CSS instructions
2. and, in the CSS subset, how many are dependent on the quirks mode.
aka have the css properties which create differences
AND have no instructions fixing these properties.
I also wonder if people will really protest if their site change to
strict mode (given that the CSS Web designers, who are most likely to
complain about differences, are usually using standard mode.) Hmm
difficult to test.
