Internet Explorer and Standards
I really hope the product is a success and is just as standards compliant as Opera.

What would be ideal is that Internet Explorer becomes a minority. I would gladly give up writing IE hacks for CSS.

In fact, I would probably post a warning that Internet Explorer is not standards compliant and offer a list of various standards compliant browsers.

Being a pragmatist I would also include IE8, if it really is standards compliant.
