No -- it's just a set of scripts that authors can add to their pages that
will trick IE into supporting a lot of extra CSS 2 stuff.

It was started at a time when Microsoft had just announced that Internet
Explorer 6 was going to be the last version of Internet Explorer ever. At
that time, choosing the name "IE7" for Dean's scripts didn't seem very
confusing. Of course, now Microsoft is planning to release a real browser
called Internet Explorer 7, it's not as sensibly named any more!
