I was just checking a few of the site's I look after in IE7's new beta,
and was a little worried that some appeared just as in IE6, which I
wasn't expecting.

The two odd ones out are on a 3rd party CMS that doesn't do the XML
declaration properly, and has a comment to kick IE6 into quirks mode.
I'm not sure if it's worth adding to the wiki, but I can see it causing
problems for people if this isn't general knowledge:

Although IE7 now accepts an XML declaration above the doctype, any
comment above the doctype will put it into quirks mode.

Personally, I'm quite happy with this behaviour, it means I can target a
group of browsers with predictable bugs & hacks (IE 5.0 - 7b2). I'll
leave this here if people want to check:
