Re: IE 6 and 7...side-by-side?
Yeah, IE7 isn’t that bad for general browsing (compared to IE6) for “average” users. Pretty much everyone in my family has gotten the IE7b2 from a MS or AOL (ew) update.
The one thing I wish IE7 would fix is hanging bullets (example here). I use them on most sites, but I have to use a conditional comment that either sets the position to inside or adds a left margin.

deldindesign: I thought the way IE6 handles the <code>outside</code> is similar to the W3C-recommendation. Does FF handle it differently?
…Prrrrrrrr…

Re: IE 6 and 7...side-by-side?
Yeah, Opera, Firefox, and Safari display the bullet outside the box, since the ul and li have no padding and margins, so they sit at the top left of the container. From the W3C:
outside
The marker box is outside the principal block box. CSS 2.1 does not specify the precise location of the marker box.
*inside *
The marker box is the first inline box in the principal block box, after which the element’s content flows. CSS 2.1 does not specify the precise location of the marker box.
IE can display outside fine, it just needs a left margin on the ul, which removes hanging bullets. The spec doesn’t say anything about clipping the bullets when they reside outside the ul.

Re: IE 6 and 7...side-by-side?
Originally I quickly had it up and running, but then SP2 of WinXP appeared to kill it, I couldn’t get it to work anymore (crashing, etc).
Just a couple days ago, I tried again, having installed 7 Beta over IE 6, and grabbed the nice standalone copies (make sure you grab the standalone, and not the full setup) and it works again, with no hacks.
And it’s borked again! Agh! I think this might have something to do with IE7 again…
