IE8 and Jonk's Blog

Well, they almost got there.  This is Jonk's blog in Firefox:

This is Jonk's Blog in IE 8 Beta 1:

Doh.

Here is Jonk's HTML

<div id="header">
<p style="float: left; display: none;">Inspired by a fake story</p>
        <h1><a href="http://blog.kindproject.com">kindproject</a></h1>
</div>

And here is the related CSS

#header h1 {
font-family:Arial;
font-size:80px;
font-weight:normal;
letter-spacing:-6px;
line-height:50px;
margin:0pt;
padding:10px;
text-align:right;
text-transform:lowercase;
}
Inherited from body
body {
color:#333333;
font-family:Verdana,"lucida console",sans-serif;
font-size:9pt;
}

On the upside: I'm sitting in a session about IE8 now and as it turns out they've upped the number of connections per domain to 6 from 2.  This sounds pretty huge.  And according to the MS guy "allows speculative downloads to begin much sooner".

Now I'm missing the parts about how they optimized the JavaScript engine.
