+IE8 was recently released, and while the existing GWT IE support mostly
works, there are a few things that don't, and now seems like a good time to
do some cleanup work as well.
+
+There are a number of differences between IE8 and IE6/7, detailed below.
The most directly affecting existing GWT libraries are:
+ * CSS expressions removed (this is breaking PopupImplIE6)
+ * Adds window.onhashchange event (this can be used for a much better
history impl)
+ * Adds data protocol for URIs (this can *finally* be used in resource
bundles)

* How can we force IE8 Standards Mode without requiring a meta tag?
* Should the deferred-binding targets be IE6/7, IE8 -- or IE6, IE7/8?
+ * Let's go with the former. IE6 and 7 are pretty close to one another,
and IE7 is unlikely to ever change again in a significant way, whereas IE8
probably will.
* Do we still need the ugly IE6/7 StyleInjectorImpl on IE8?
* Looks like we do, and that it may need some tweaking (the result of
document.createStyleSheet() is *not* an element).
* See if the IE6/7 String.append() performance assumptions still apply
to IE8

* Do we still need to adjust scrollLeft for RTL mode?
* Oh, for god's sake. It starts at 0 and goes *up* as you scroll left.
Argh.
