- Nanobe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The Internet Explorer 7.0 layout engine development has been frozen, meaning the developers couldn't make changes if they wanted to -- that's dictated by management. On a few of the IE feedback reports, an IE development team representative said that a fix for the respective problem would be trivial, but it would have to wait until the next version because they aren't allowed to touch it now. They also previously announced that the IE beta was "layout complete" and then "feature complete", and that the only layout engine bugs they would even consider fixing are extremely serious ones that they couldn't ship it with (such as security problems, major sites breaking, etc.).

- akuzemchak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This could be really helpful when used in combination with the IE conditional tags. This way,you could have 1 stylesheet dedicated to fix IE's ridiculous bugs, and use the hacks to determine which fixes go to which version. Certainly beats doing a conditional for everything earlier than 7, and then another for 7 itself.
