Well, it did begin on the Dark Side. But the "product manager" for MacIE was also MSFT's representative to the various web standards organizations out there. Even if he couldn't get his own company to follow the policies and rules it approved, he and his team learned to use IE's bugs to actually get it to perform "properly".

Any developer out there who has had to use the "Box Model Hack" can thank Tantek Celik, formerly of the MBU and MSFT's Web Standards Evangelist, for that one.
