The problem is that the export process is causing the DOCTYPE declaration to appear below the license comment block, despite the template having it the other way around. It turns out that not having the DOCTYPE declaration as the very first thing on the page causes IE to remain in quirks mode.
I updated the file in SVN again, moving the velocity directives below the DOCTYPE declaration. Can you (or anyone) try pasting it into the admin console again, making sure that <!DOCTYPE html> is the very first line in the resulting text? (Or if you want, give me the site admin rights to do so myself.) Then I'll just publish a single page so we can see if it is right before exporting the whole site again. Thanks!
