IE7 Wishlist

The developers of Internet Explorer have asked to receive feedback on features and fixes for the new version. Here’s my top five:

  1. Complete and correct support for CSS 2.1 and lower
  2. Complete and correct support for HTML 4.01 (I’m not holding my breath for XHTML)
  3. Complete and correct support for the PNG image format, including 32-bit PNGs with alpha channels
  4. Greater separation between the browser and the operating system — excessive integration is the source of too many serious security problems
  5. Tabbed browsing

(Props: Ordered List)

  1. A tiny little thing which has fustrated me all morning is line-height. IE currently seems to include subscript text when rendering this. It should be from baseline to baseline and be independent of subscript and superscript. I know it’s nowhere near the top of the listy of things which need to be fixed, but it’s a real nuisance in a page full of scientific terms.

  2. Here’s my wish list for IE7 to have:
    1. Adding Themes & Skins Capability.
    2. Built-in Media Player that can play any type of media. “Similer to what the MSN Browser has”
    3. Built-in Notepad for taking notes “Opera has that.”
    4. Faster Loading.
