It is ignored in standards mode, as it should be. We have some quirks in quirks mode. (See http://mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/ .) What you're asking about is quirks mode behavior, and what matters for quirks mode behavior is what is required for existing important pages on the web to lay out correctly. New pages should use a DOCTYPE and thus be handled in standards mode. That said, you could file a bug if you think our quirks mode behavior isn't compatible enough with IE/Windows and there isn't a bug on file already. However, the issue would be an extremely low priority unless significant numbers of real web sites depend on the behavior. > All in all it looks as if the specification is poorly thought > out.

No, the specification is merely designed for document layout and being used for unintended things. New specifications are needed for new things, such as user-interface layout. -David -- L.
