Microsoft breaks IE8 interoperability promise Microsoft said the right things, then blew it:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/29/hakon_lie_ie8_interoperability/
Why end support for expressions ? To comply with standards Expressions are proprietary to Internet Explorer and as such not interoperable. A common use-case for expressions was to fix IE bugs or to emulate those CSS 2.1 features not yet supported by the browser, for example, min-width and max-width. We have not only worked hard to fix these bugs in IE8 but our new layout engine supports the missing features natively.http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/10/16/ending-expressions.aspx:yes: “To comply with standards”
