And how exactly do you expect those people to figure out that
something's wrong when "it looks just fine in Internet Explorer"?

Heck, I'd settle for a big switch in Internet Options that says
something like: "ENFORCE ALL STANDARDS SADISTICALLY".

I haven't found that one yet, and somehow I don't expect to see it.  I
can write all the books and specs I want, but if "it works", people
aren't going to seek out why it isn't genuinely working.
