IE8

So, it turns out I was wrong about Microsoft's IE8 standards-mode rendering switch - they're proposing that web authors use either a meta element or an HTTP header as an opt-in.

My initial gut reaction: wow, that sucks.

( cut because it's web-geeky and looong )

So: flip the default around, and this is a good idea. Otherwise, it sucks.

Finally, a word from the lemurs.
