The conditional behavior has to be corrected. Until then, reports of
broken pages that rely heavily on the correct CC interpretation are of
not much worth for MS.
Second: The emulate-IE7-button should overrule the X-UA "IE=8".
(Alternatively, a yellow sign should pop up: "Sorry, but the author of
this page decided otherwise. And while we're at it, the author thought
his px-fixed text is readable, so you cannot use the text enlarge
either. Try the page zoom instead. Sorry again.")
