I have to concur completely. If we get in the habit of "fixing" zope all
the time to work around IE bugs it will only make it that much harder to
make compliant solutions and that much harder to get rid of MS. Fighting a
monopoly takes work and I have found it to be worthwhile.

What I would propose is that instead we build some kind of browser
detection into zope and base the information on what kind of user agent
that is acessing zope. That way we could have a work around for IE but we
could still move the world towards a more standards compliant solution.
