Yeah, compatibility mode is neither man nor beast. I test integer releases — if 
they look fine and the user hits that button, I'm not going to bend over

That is very interesting. I'll get testing when I find a moment — don't suppose 
there's any particular test cases you can represent?

As an aside, ubiquitous IE7 (& 8 in 7 mode) bugs relating to page zoom and 
intermittent rounding errors / layout calculation mistakes (eg random clearing 
floats that only show at one and four zoom levels up) often get a big fat Won't
