Umm, no, no, it doesn't.  IE5.01 and 5.5 don't even get the *box model*
correct!

IE6 gets most things right, although there's a few hacks (I'm sure you
can all find 'em yourself) for hiding stuff from even IE6, and work only
because of bugs within it.  The only major problem I've seen (that I
*know* is an IE problem, and not my CSS[0]) is that IE6 neither knows 
nor wants to know what "position: fixed;" means.

     IE/Win, is unlikely to be wrong, I can't be certain.
