MS lead program manager for IE Chris Wilson writes an entry in the IEBlog. It's not a bad article.
Here is an excerpt...
Additionally, with every subsequent major release of IE, we have expanded and improved our implementation of web standards, particularly CSS and HTML. When we shipped IE 6.0, we finally fully supported CSS 1, and had some pieces of CSS2 implemented as well. Since IE 6.0 shipped, we have focused on one of our other key problems enhancing the security of the Internet Explorer platform. This has taken tremendous effort on our part, and was IS an important place for us to focus but it will not be our only area of improvement in our engine. We know we have a lot more work to do in addressing our consistency issues with CSS and furthering our coverage of these standards. Expect to see more detail on our plans in IE7 in the future.
First user comment is as follows.
By "fully supported CSS 1", do you mean "mostly passed the W3C's basic test suite for CSS1", or do you mean "had some sort of detectable behaviour for every feature of CSS1"?
Because I _know_ you don't mean "correctly supported all of CSS 1"...
