Well, I’m Back: <META HTTP-EQUIV="X-BALL-CHAIN”>
The IEBlog predictably announces that Web developers will have to use a tag or HTTP header to get IE to treat a page with post-IE7 standards compliance. Obviously a lot of people are going to be upset about this. I’m actually just puzzled.

Via Roger Johannson’s 456 Berea St., here’s a nice counter argument to the "IE8 Standards Meta Tag Solves All Our Problems" sentiment. Some good points here, and it echoes my question about code footprint size.
