Yup. http://www.xanthir.com/etc/html5-details-fix.html (This works in IE8 when the page mode is set to IE7 or Quirks. It's possible that this doesn't actually work in a real IE7 or IE6, but I have no way to test it.) > And kudos to the guy that discovered this hack.

We do know that actually wrapping a <figure> in an <object> fixes things, but I have no clue how or why putting an unclosed <object> in the <head> (which doesn't end up appearing in the actual DOM) works. ~TJ
