Based on the "Versioning and Internet Explorer Modes" whitepaper, making the assumption that Microsoft just kept the old IE7 Quirks mode, it seems like we have four modes: IE7 Quirks (versions<7), IE7 Standards (version=7), IE8 Standards (version <=8) and Best possible (version=edge), with Best possible being the same as IE8 Standards in IE8.
