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.

You really don't need that unless the site in question is overpoweringly visual. If you have a decent standards-based page (see where this is going?) even without a handheld stylesheet, Opera Mobile does a fantastic job of reformatting and laying it out to be usable. Far more usable than panning and scanning.
