I have high hopes.  IE releases have been, since v4, very standards compliant.  
Rememember that IE 6 is actually quite compliant to standards - but only those 
standards finalized when it was released three years ago.  It's problem is not 
that it flouted standards - its that the standards it does support are antique.

MS could and have patched it to maintain compliance, but didn't.  Still, I 
doubt they'll let a new version number out without addressing this.  Otherwise 
this would just be IE "6.5" (and I hope they learned their lesson about 
half-assed releases with IE 5.5).
