wtf?

Internet Explorer in Longhorn will not support XHTML or SVG. (Microsoft suggested they would need some significantly more comprehensive test suites before they started working on standards compliance again.)

they've got to mean it will support XHTML as IE6 does now i.e. just not the whole spec. right?

Yeah, support will probs be like what it is now (a bit cap ).

Not supporting SVG is clearly a commercial move... they'll be pushing for the acceptance of their own toolkit, XAML (extensible app markup lang) which promises to do all what SVG can do and more.

You can't blame Microsoft tho... the speed at which the W3C moves is very slow.

I doubt it.

IE upgrades are driven by the consumer, not us developers. Joe Fuck doesn't care or even know about PNG support, or the lack of it. They want tabbed browsing, pop-up blockers etc so that's what they're getting.

Same goes for CSS.
