This is one thing I've been thinking about since Google released Chrome Frame. Microsoft should release a service pack that attaches a standard compliant rendering engine to IE (basically a Microsoft blessed Chrome Frame). Then legacy applications would continue to work and the rest of the world could toss a meta engine="nosuck" that IE would respond to by rendering with the good engine.
- ComputerGuru 17y agoThat WAS Internet Explorer 9, but the online community made such a ruckus (with good reason) that MS would use the "standards compliant" mode only with a nosuck tag, that they went ahead and made it the default and you'd have to opt-in to the sucky mode.
- cstejerean 17y agoIE9 should be standards compliant by default. A patched version of IE6 however should continue to be sucky by default and use a new rendering engine only with a nosuck tag.
