Hmmm....
It seems to me that the default behaviour of IE7 and IE8 is to use quirks
mode ("compatibility view" in MS speak) for pages fetched from the local
network ("content from the intranet" in MS speak) and then displays a list
rather then a grid.
Whilst I have no love for IE, I think it is a poor idea for fossil to look
bad when users first try it (most likely via doing "fossil ui"). Granted,
usage of IE among the target user base of fossil (developers) is perhaps as
low as 25%, but that is still a quarter of all potential users.
