---- hasLayout - Microsoft's own CSS logic?

All the ins and outs of this are way beyond me, but I'm still following this with great interest. I remember from the thread a year ago (which I also followed) that triggering hasLayout seems to fix the vast majority of IE's bugs. However, there are two things that I've never quite understood:

A: How to trigger hasLayout effectively, and,
B: Does hasLayout need to be triggered for each problem element, or just once for the entire page?

The underscore hack, and * html hacks could theoretically be compromised quite easily if they fix stylesheet parsing.

That really scares me. If the bugs we use to fix other bugs are eliminated, but the bugs we've been using them to fix remain, what then? Hopefully you're on to a solution here, and if so, it couldn't come at a better time! ;)
