Well, I dithered too, because I didn't want to sound like I was flaming you. There are huge dangers in learning the IE way, so I don't actually disagree with you at all. I just found it a good tool to learn the syntax with, especially during the early phases. But I would also want to re-emphasize your points (and others on this list). IE5 is not in sync with standards, so beware!
