Do you deny that you wrote this? Do you deny that the second paragraph of your answer is referring to the first, which is referring exactly to the OP's problem in IE (or rather your assumption thereof because of the problems observed)? Do you still deny that you are justifying the way the implementation in "IE" works (or rather not works) with what a/the Working Draft has to say about this?
