Intetesting. Can you possibly elucidate on why this was needed? IE/Windows does not exhibit this behavior, and we've been trying to eliminate it in Gecko (because it causes security issues in many cases); I'm hoping that this behavior will be gone in Firefox 3. Are there specific sites that do browser-sniffing and serve different content to IE and other browsers, with the "other browsers" content broken? If so, wouldn't it make more sense for Opera, Mozilla, and Apple to evangelize them than to start reverse-engineering each others bugs here? -Boris
