About the 'why':
I'm working on a little Backbase application. From what I've seen so far
it seems to require quirks mode to function right
in Internet Explorer. You can see this because their website at
www.backbase.com has <!-- --> on top of the page.
Now I want to include a little backbase powered mini-app inside my
weblog, of which the pages (of course) require strict rendering mode.
I can do it in an iframe with the <!-- --> thing on top of the document
that's loaded inside of it but that results in another
problem: the iframe's height. As it's an ajax thing the height of the
inner document will vary and I don't want the iframe
to ever have a scrollbar. I guess my only option is to limit the height
of the ajax generated content in order to make
sure it never gets higher than my iframe then?

This is probably going to sound really weird but I need this for
something I'm working on.
Yep, you got that right but I won't ask why :-)
Question: Is it possible to make IE6 use the broken box model for a
PART of the document?
As far as I know, the only way you'd get that behaviour would be if
you insert a document (with quirks mode trigger) into an iframe (or
object) on the compliant page.
Note: just a theory - I haven't tested it.
