FWIW, at some point I'd like to see the affect of quirks mode be defined in CSS. HTML 5 already defines when you enter "quirks mode", "limited quirks mode" (also known as almost standards mode), and "no quirks mode" (also known as standards mode). It makes sense for other specifications where quirks are necessary for Web compatibility to define those. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it myself for the foreseeable future. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
