Sorry, I'm rather new to CSS and I never had to deal with supporting IE5 and IE6 together, and I was basing my thoughts off the results of Alex's test. Well what you say there is interesting. Look at Alex's test again http://www.fu2k.org/alex/css/cssjunk/ie8/xua Enter the page in IE8 mode. The last test will show the blue and green line shorter. In IE7 strict mode all is well. In IE5 quirks mode all test shows the blue and green line shorter. In IE6 all lines are of equal length. So this would mean that IE8 is emulating the quirks modes different to how IE6 and IE7 handle quirks mode.

Now with IE8 on the seen some of these off-line test are great importance when IE8 is emulating IE7 mode or if IE8 has the same bugs.
