Thank you, my thoughts exactly! That is the point of this discussion tread. MSIE has interpreted the standards to suit their priorities and just because they hold the larger market share (on the PC), their getting away with it. We as developers, should not take it laying down or avoid the problem like it doesn't exist. The WSG group is here to help us find workarounds for browsers that poorly or wrongly implement the standards (e.g. IE), but it's mission is to fix the problem by proactively advocating web standards.
