True. That's what I don't like about Opera.
It's like "we can't implement DOM properly, but at least we can mess up
user agents".

No. "Identify as IE" is default, which is like what you mentioned first.
It takes the IE string - which includes "Mozilla 4.0-compatible" and
appends its own version number ("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0;
Windows XP) Opera 6.01 [en]" for me).
This one ("Opera/6.01 (Windows XP; U) [en]") is true though when turning
on "Identify as Opera".
