Had the chance to run a few more tests to find out what’s new (and what’s not) in IE8. Good: @import media types seem to be implemented; Bad: XHTML still isn’t parsed, so everyone who thinks they are coding XHTML are still kidding themselves.
Hmm, although it’s a step in the right direction that they’ve included support for @import media types, I’d like to see Media Query support by the time it becomes an RC, bringing it in line with Safari, Opera & hopefully FF3 (no support as of yet)
Looks like it’s time to give up trying to support IE once and for all. I’ve waited 3 major versions for ms to get their act together but even there latest beta browser is STILL incapable of even basic XHTML rendering which all other well-known browsers have had working for over half a decade now.
