Perhaps that might encourage people to upgrade to a better browser that 
doesn't have the bugs below? Might these be fixed in IE 7? No, there 
will be no IE 7:

New versions of IE will come with new versions of Windows, but 
considering many people are still using Win98, 5 years on, IE has had 
its day.

Anyway, yes it could be hidden, but I try to avoid browser sniffing when 
possible.

Yes, I noticed this myself this morning. IE alpha-blending bug with 
PNGs. Will work around this soon.

Another IE bug. It ignores the min-height CSS. Hopefully this won't be 
an issue soon as there will be more content!

Perhaps not. Will consider moving it.
