More findings from IE8: XHTML and @import
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.

Aside
Not only did I correctly predict Firefox 3.1, but one of my visions was that they implement the remaining CSS 3 selectors - which has just been announced. My uncanny powers are beginning to scare me.
