The Future of Hacks in IE
Microsoft is working on Internet Explorer 7 and in an entry on the IEBlog, they mention the possibility of existing hacks for IE breaking pages in IE7.
If you are currently using a doctype that triggers IE's quirks mode, your site won't be affected. If you are using standards mode and hacks for IE, however, it might be.
The reason for this is that IE is trying to make their standard mode more standards compliant. They recommend using conditional comments instead of CSS hacks.

All in all, this is the kind of change that people have long been asking for from Redmond, but if you are using standards mode the transition could be rocky unless you prepare now.
