Testcase http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/ie7b2_abmh.html
In "What’s New for CSS in Beta 2 Preview?" http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/02/523679.aspx Markus Mielke said they have fixed the comment bug: property /**/: value; value is now recognized by IE7b2 (like in all browsers but IE6). But !important is still ignored, valueB overwrites valueA property: valueA !important; property: valueB; This wild fixing of only /half/ of the bugs breaks all pages that make use of the alternate box model hack. http://www.info.com.ph/~etan/w3pantheon/style/abmh.html#tech3 Well, in "Call to action: The demise of CSS hacks and broken pages" they have warned. http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/10/12/480242.aspx In Molly's "Star HTML and Microsoft IE7" http://www.molly.com/2005/12/22/star-html-and-microsoft-ie7/ this comment was broadly accepted: “If IE7 fixes all those issues and behaves according to W3C standards, why should the hack matter?… If IE7 is as good as they say, it should ignore the hack and just render everything normally while IE6 and lower will still use the hack.” So fixing the /**/-bug requires fixing the !important bug.
