Default On second thought, IE8 will default to full Web standards

"On second thought, IE8 will default to full Web standards"

Should Microsoft choose for IE8 to follow the standards developers want or
the ones they use? It's been a tough call, and late yesterday, the company
reversed that call.

[..]

Gustafson advises against use of the DOCTYPE attribute; instead, he offers
an alternate attribute, which for the purposes Hachamovitch advises would
be phrased like this: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
