Microsoft decided that due to their new interoperability initiative, they would reverse a previous decision to make IE8 default to the IE7 engine, instead of supporting standards-compliance by default. No article or musing I have yet read has delved into what is increasingly likely, the reason for this sudden change in decision -- and that is this: the mobile web is coming.

with that total Apple fanboyism. In mobile world iPhone is yesterday news. If MS would make any move with iPhone in mind it would be months ago. Also if sites are making special versions for iPhone it means that standards are not working and webmasters are total morons. One page should gradually degrade to fit mobile environment without any special version.
What was major announcement for mobiles in recent days? Nokia "partnership" with MS. If anything was influencing Redmonds decision it was that.
