Ah, ok. I see the answer in liorean's post. In the white paper / technology overview http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4A3CB46C-8B8D-4B93-AC73-D0BA127B58FA&displaylang=en Compatibility Mode Value Render Behavior IE=5 "Quirks" mode IE=7 "Standards" mode IE=8 Internet Explorer 8 Standards mode IE=edge Uses latest standards that Internet Explorer 8 and any future versions of the browser support.

Don't know when I'll be able to send this on, though. It's alright. I'll report it. Oh no, I can't I'm not on the Technical Beta list. Well, I've posted to the IE8beta discussion forum.

In fact, I've just done some tests and I'd say that "looks as if" is an understatement.
