FYI, such versioning was discussed on public-html a few months ago and Microsoft are already planning on introducing a new bug mode switch of some kind into the next version of IE, which authors will be required to use if they don't want to be stuck with IE7 mode. That will give Microsoft another solution to their purported XHR compatibility problems (though I would prefer them to just use the ActiveXObject() vs. XMLHttpRequest() switch pointed out earlier). -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
