One of the things that IE is working on for IE9 along with Mozilla and Webkit is more rendering and layout-based tests, so when you specify things like "dotted line border", it will look identical in all browsers.

Things like this will serve the web better than "Hey everyone, let's all use Webkit".

The thing people don't realize is that there is no standard WebKit browser, either.

So, even if MS did convert to webkit, which webkit?

microsoft should switch to webkit-ish.
