That's technically true. But it's not an answer that provides a solution
CSS2.1 is a finished specification. IE6 supports about 90% of the
specification. Newer browsers support about 98%. How is a web developer
supposed to use CSS unless he knows which browsers support which
properties? Is there a constructive solution anywhere in this thread?
Tune in to Microsoft's Channel 9 site to see what Microsoft developers
and engineers think about standards. I think you'll be surprised that
they are not only for them, they are also part of the W3C.
I would bet that IE7 (or the version that ships with Longhorn) will have
terrific support for CSS2.1 "recommendations". Not for any other reason
than to give web developers the tools they need to use CSS and have
sites be as stable on IE as they are on Firefox.
I'd put some money on that
