Both sides could learn from the others strengths and/or weaknesses, and come up with a solution which would benefit both, since it's open source. Now, if only IE8 would go down the open source path as well. I'm not seeing why not, not doing it seems to do nothing for them, but to a) isolate them, and b) making it damn near impossible to benefit from what others are doing. If IE was a commercial software which they were selling and thus needed to protect, whether this is actually logical or not, maybe, but as it stands, I dont get it.
