The site checks the browser and sends "more w3c like code" to non-IE
browsers. It sends proprietary MSHTML to IE.
Doubt its a conspiracy, and don't think the intent is that it be
crappier. Just that MS Visual Studio, most likely used to create the
site, is weak at doing things w/o the proprietary tags.
