IE 8 will come out of the box as a standards-compliant Web browser. Not only will it be able to handle the progressing standards in the Web development world, but it will be its default setting to do so.
The browser will attempt to display all pages with the proper DOCTYPE according to HTML rendering rules of its improved standards mode.
IE 7 does have a standards mode, but is not ACID2-compliant and differs greatly from many industry standards specifications.
Originally, IE 8 was not going to be set up in such a way. It was only going to be standards-compliant if a web page had a custom META tag that indicated it to do so.
