Hmm I think the meta tag idea is on the whole a good one, as I think it's the only way Microsoft will release a standards compliant browser. If this didn't happen, then they would break so many websites with IE8 that people would start looking for solutions, and start finding firefox! Obviously MS don't want this, so unless they can keep older sites looking ok, I don't think its in their interests to release a compliant browser.
While it's a sorry situation to be in, and obviously I'd like to see more people convert to FF, a standards compliant browser from MS, even if I do have to use a meta tag, is a huge improvement on todays situation!
