The IE 7 team is calling for people to stop using hacks to “work around issues with IE”:http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/10/12/480242.aspx.
It seems to me that the problem is that people with actual websites they want to behave have to use the hacks until IE 7 actually, you know, _ships_. Even on this site, the overwhelming majority of browser-based hits are still for a version of IE that has all these defects.
