Modern Windows browsers IE6, the Mac Safari and many others were stopped
cold in their tracks. That IE was able to do this is an example of its great
supple strength, an engineering marvel, a tall thick forgiving tree that
bends in gales and springs back... now I better stop provoking you all I

Actually it's a testament it it's utter lack of standards adherence. There are other things that it ignores to far greater consequence.
Worse, it encourages utterly lazy, sloppy, careless coders.
