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).
