Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Many (windoze) developers creating 
web sites use Microsoft's knowledge base for documentation (rather than W3C).
This is regardless if the delivery technology is ISS+ASP or Apache with
PHP/mod_perl/etc... As a result the sites end up using many IE specific 
extensions. Most of the time there is equivalent standard functionality, 
it's a sorry situation really :(
