Nope!  I  don't  actually  "like"  any browser. I just deal. We have a
50/50  split  of  Mac/Windows, a 35/35/30 split by FF/WK/IE across the
OSs,  and  even  within  those slices, we have crazily even breakdowns
like  30/35/35 IE8/IE7/IE6.* I'm often heard screaming at IE. But also
may  be heard muttering at Safari or seen shaking fists and/or head at
FF.

Perhaps  because IE is neither alpha- nor underdog in our development,
I am able to throw it a few more bones for doing things right? In this
case,  the  letter  of DOM 2 HTML is in IE's corner: "Interoperability
between implementations is only guaranteed for elements and attributes
that  are  specified  in  the  HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 DTDs." (1.1) So
basically,  "Don't  just  try to push stuff into an HTML document that
isn't  HTML."  Different  area  from  using  the browser to manage XML
fragments _as_ XML.
