Also, I just noticed (again, this may be old news by now) that
fieldsets and input buttons (and presumably all form elements) are
displayed in the manner of IE7 when X-UA is IE=5.
So, to recap
IE=5 - IE7's quirks mode (regardless of doctype)
IE=7 - IE7's standards mode (Standards or Quirks mode with doctype
and no url)
IE7's standards-ish mode ignoring *+html (Quirks mode without doctype)
IE=8 - IE8 native (Standards or Quirks mode with doctype and no url)
IE8 native-ish mode ignoring *+html (Quirks mode without doctype)
Pretty much then what Microsoft have said then, but perhaps this
would have been easier to digest, if it was IE=quirks instead of IE=5
and that it had been explicitly spelt out that it was IE7's quirks
mode that was meant.
Now, as an aside and not being particularly expert on quirks mode
rendering, are there any specific differences (other than the ones
just discussed) that anyone is aware of between IE6 quirks mode and
IE7 quirks mode? (I'm fully aware of their being many standards mode
issues ;)
