IE Team is asking for feedback on Standards
This is a topic that is close to my heart. Standards support. Over on the IE Blog, Chris is asking for feedback on IE and standards support. He is specifically asking about what is broken and what you would like fixed. This is your opportunity to tell them exactly what you want and influence product development.

css2 empty-cells
When you render a table cell with no content IE doesn't draw borders etc. That means everyone on the planet is adding no breaking spaces to empty cells. Think of all the excess traffic caused by all these travelling about.
Seriously tho, so much of our code wrties data into table and we have to test for a value and insert a space to ensure the table looks sensible on screen. Printing with missing cells make the output shambolic.
MS Word, MS Excel etc... all by default support this.
It's part of CSS2 and must be trivial to implement, so please do!
cheers

It seems a little silly to be asking "what should we fix?" Wouldn't it make the most sense to simply follow the W3C standards? That is the goal, plain and simple. Here is the URL: http://www.w3.org/ - Anonymous

Real simple, become more W3c compliant or simply get out of the web browser business.
Must haves for IE7:
PNG 1 support
Complete CSS2 support
HTML 4 standards.
Good luck! - Anonymous
