I don't care what's the reason, it loads up faster. :chrongue: I know Microsoft is dodgy, but they already rule the OS/browser world, they have forced their ways on the world.
You know, following this logic, Firefox users actually waste their resources since they have both Firefox and IE loaded. :P

Firefox does actually load pages up faster that's what blade ment.
I suppose... but any browser renders a page in less than a second, the differences in startup time are much more significant. Mind you, I am not even satisfied with IE's load time... I think XP is to blame for my computer being so slow. :dodgy:

Because that would make much of the Web render on the new IE differently than intended. That's the last think MS wants - lots of (non-geek) Webmasters and users mad at them.

As for the rest of your post: Indeed, it's very bad that Microsoft doesn't publish any organized specifications for their rendering engine. I know they are dodgy and make things difficult, and as I said it would be ideal if everyone were W3C-compliant. But IE's current status gives us no choice.
