Adjacent selectors not supported in any MSIE?

[Stan Brown]

Brian Wilson's Index Dot CSS at
<http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/supportkey/syntax.htm> says
that no version of MSIE supports adjacent sibling selectors, such as
p+p.

Is that actually true?

I use p+p pretty extensively, because I like the first paragraph of
a group to be flush left and with a top margin, while later
paragraphs in a group are indented and have a zero top margin.
Example:

Under "Sample Size" the first three paragraphs should be grouped as
described above (and they are, in Mozilla and Opera).

IE5/Mac understands it. That's it.

[bitter tone of voice] That's frickin' amazing.

(I'm ticked at Microsoft, not at you.)

Just today I did a search at Microsoft's site and found something
about Microsoft's realizing its commitment to make IE _4_ support
style sheets fully. I knew there were some dark corners, but p+p???

I sympathize with the bitterness. But I don't think that MSIE/Win's
shortcomings could suprise me any more.

It forces one to use the class attribute more often than would
otherwise be necessary, and even then precludes using css in certain
situations.

On the bright side, if you write p+p, Windows IE ignores the selector.
If you write p + p, Windows IE 5.0 treats the selector as p.
