That's not quite true. Try making a CSS-only drop-down menu
(without using Javascript) that works the same under IE and other
browsers. All the examples I have seen required conditional markup
hacks in the document, as well as separate stylesheets for IE.

An excellent example of a cross-browser non-javascript CSS-only
drop-down menu is here:

It's quite nicely done, but it does require hacks in both CSS and
HTML.
