[PLUG] interesting experiment


using konqueror (i'm using kde2.2.2, but i don't know how much it matters)
go to http://www.msnbc.com and observe the formatting. Now, under the tools
menu, select Change Broswer Identification --> IE 5.5 on Windows 2000.
reobserver the formatting. notice anything? 

what do you think is causing this discrepency? i'm certain the rendering
engine isn't changed to be more compatible with IE based html. So does this
mean that konqueror handles IE html better than other html? is the site
sending crappy html to non-ie browsers on purpose? is this poor quality
assurance? is there a conspiracy?
