If a browser can't stack various layers of one element together in the
right order on top of all layers of another element, without explicitly
being "told" to group and stack element layers by using a nonsensical
property/value for the case, then it is a serious stacking bug.

Toggle IE8 to render like IE7, and see how it handles such filters that
are known to work in a certain way in IE7.

Should *not* happen, so if true that counts as a *serious bug* in IE8.

Sounds like IE8' mode switching is totally corrupted in this beta, and
on top of that it doesn't act *identical to* the earlier versions it is
said to emulate either. All in all a "good" recipe for breaking large
parts of the web.

Again, toggle back to IE7 and test again.

If IE8 doesn't emulate previous versions/modes *identical to* those
previous versions/modes, the whole version target mess that has been
"the talk of the town" lately, becomes "utter nonsense" in any order.

A "less-important failure", but a failure never the less.
If left unfixed it opens up IE8 for "the ugliest IE-hack ever invented",
and breaks with what the W3C standard says: "HTML allows authors to
associate any number of external style sheets with a document."[1].
Clearly IE/win doesn't allow all that much, while other major browsers
allow /almost/ any number - if given enough time and resources to handle
them.
