I would say when IE 'guesses' correctly it is one thing but many times
when the code is 'correct' it 'guesses' wrong!

More seriously the problem with IE's ability to parse 'junk' is that
finding the damn error can be nearly impossible! At least with FF and
others you know you have made a mistake somewhere.
