WTF. Microsoft actually listened to feedback. Internet Explorer 8 will interpret web content in its "best standards" mode by default. Here's the press release. Thank you!
Good way to garner some praise just before MIX08. Now we wait with baited breath for later this week, when news from MIX08 about IE8's support of other standards (beyond CSS2's Acid) will percolate up into the blogosphere.
I was stunned. So if they’re listening then maybe we just need to keep yelling about SVG support…
