I read somewhere that basically the meta tag will allow to to update our sites on our own time when new features or browsers are released. In stead of breaking a site when these new features come out, we can choose when we want to update and add the new features. I LOVE this idea. I remember scrambling to fix some sites when IE7 came out… I would not like to repeat that situation again. If this tag can do that then I think it may be a good idea at least in part.

The META tag is a foolhardy idea and one I seriously hope they don’t implement, it would be a coding nightmare. I for one would prefer their continued use of IE Conditional comments if they had to do something.

If it “breaks” a vast majority of websites, GOOD, its about time people stop being lazy and sloppy with their coding. Its time to shape up or ship out, this is 2008, no excuses for sloppy antiquated code.
