From the site you linked:
"As it is now, these expressions can only be made to work in
IE5.0+/win, and only in quirks mode. This at least give us a mean
to overcome some of IE/win's shortcomings with regard to W3C's CSS
standards as they are."
This is wrong. I would question anything else he writes on CSS
Expressions because of the above statement.
You may question everything I write whenever you like, but maybe you
should read a bit further first (same page):
"Also, only stable in quirks mode (see above), although variants can
be
made to work in IE6's "standard" mode."
(pardon my Norwenglish)
I prefer quirks mode as I find it much easier to make IE6 behave
like a
browser that way. Also, I see no reason to complicate things by
having
to fix IE5+/win in two modes. It's a personal preference thing,
which
anyone may judge as they like.

Sorry Georg,
I simply clicked your named anchor for "CSS Expressions":
http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_02_01.html#item3
And it took me to a section from which your note was not visible.
I won't debate your personal preference versus mine - they both can
achieve good results if handled properly. CSS expressions as
advertised sometimes on this list lead to slutions that are not clear
about quirks mode versus standards mode and can easily cause a
recursive loop in IE 6 - freezing the browser.
It's good that you posted back and clarified.
Thanks for that.
