Agreed. It's more correct to say that projects like ies4linux and 
winetricks will get IE working correctly, but to do it they heavily 
rely on native windows dlls. This is fine for the user to get stuff 
working, but the wine devs would rather folk didn't, as the wine code 
then doesn't get used/tested/fixed.
