Well, my "good reason" is laziness. I do give IE 5/6 Windows an extra stylesheet, I just did not want to do separate ones for IE5 and IE6. Until a short while ago I was making separate style sheets for IE 5 Mac, IE 5.01 Win, IE 5.5 Win, and IE 6 Win, with possible variants for print styles as well. I got fed up with all that extra work for one company's browser, and hit on the idea of using quirks mode. I wonder if IE 7 will behave like IE 5 with a comment before the DOCTYPE?
