Somebody a little while ago mentioned that IE 6 was better than previous version of Internet Explorer in its adherence to standards. We were talking at the time about XSL.
In my experience the browser is quite poor at implementing other standards (e.g. CSS [Cascading Style Sheets]). Has this been other users' experience? It is particularly noticeable now that most other browsers are pretty good. It seems to be an odd version of the 80:20 rule, except in this case that 80 percent of users use the browser that is least standards compliant while 80% of browsers probably are.
