I have been talking about it for a long time now, and so have other people. It seems like the IE7 team has started to listen. Internet Explorer’s support for CSS and HTML elements is horrible.

Address CSS consistency problems. Our first and most important goal with our Cascading Style Sheet support is to remove the major inconsistencies so that web developers have a consistent set of functionality on which they can rely. For example, we have already checked in the fixes to the peekaboo and guillotine bugs documented at positioniseverything.net so use of floated elements become more consistent.

Hopefully by the time IE7 rolls around they will have all of those issues fixed. Well, “all” might be setting the bar pretty high. I’d be happy with “most” for now.

It seems like IE7 will also have anti-virus and anti-phishing tools built in as well. Good stuff!
