And for the record, IE was the first browser. It was the release of all the secondary browsers that began the standards war, thinking that the browser that started it all should conform to them, when (if you put yourself in the shoes of being the one who was the first), isnt exactly reasonable. When it comes down to it, every browser has some kind of incompatibility with standards, even the new Opera 9.5, all because its how they get more members to use some certain browser.
Only case is if you don't know how to write CSS that works?

Then explain how Mosaic and Netscape were released before IE was. Netscape was released 8 months before IE, and Mosaic was released over two years before IE was.

They are only more compatible with old browers who were released before CSS2 was even fully working... that is a rubbish argument.

But if you want to argue about how IE4 and below is oh so standards compliant, knock yourself out.
