I'm just reading the IE blog article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/03/03/microsoft-s-interoperability-principles-and-ie8.aspx

On his blog, meanwhile, Jeremy Keith's positively effusive:
"I can't express how happy this makes me. I'm also extremely impressed
that Microsoft listened to—and acted upon—the feedback from the
developer community. They can now count on me as a staunch ally in
educating site owners about how to implement version targeting when
necessary."

>From a cynical point of view, one can't help thinking that they
engineered the fuss in order then to do an about-face and look like
the good guys. Or the slightly-less-evil guys, at least.

I'll have a ham sandwich and a packet of crisps, thanks.
