Lead program manager of IE talks about standards
This blog is from Chris Wilson, the lead program manager for the web platform in IE. He talks about compatibility and standards, therefore Chris focuses on different modes (quirks mode and strict mode) and talks about the CSS compatibility. It is possible that these types of blogs will be viewed by microsoft to get a better idea of what people wan't, maybe they will use these information for IE7
Additionally, with every subsequent major release of IE, we have expanded and improved our implementation of web standards, particularly CSS and HTML. When we shipped IE 6.0, we finally fully supported CSS 1, and had some pieces of CSS2 implemented as well. Since IE 6.0 shipped, we have focused on one of our other key problems – enhancing the security of the Internet Explorer platform. This has taken tremendous effort on our part, and was – IS – an important place for us to focus – but it will not be our only area of improvement in our engine. We know we have a lot more work to do in addressing our consistency issues with CSS and furthering our coverage of these standards. Expect to see more detail on our plans in IE7 in the future.
