The IE9 beta is very early software (even compared to the preview versions which have more css3/html5 support strangely) and it has many bugs (eg soft-hyphen is broken) and as-of-yet unimplemented features. The beta showcases the Windows 7 UI integration while the preview versions showcase standards improvements and have broken features between them. (Hopefully Microsoft will clean it up a bit for release ;-). )<br>
<br>For your second question, I'm sure most of our testers test in all the modern browsers FF3.5+, Safari, Opera, IE6 (sometimes), IE7, IE8, and Chrome and some mobile ones, and adjust/fix accordingly for CSS, JavaScript and HTML compatibility as well as accessibility of late.<br>
<br>It's still a bit early too worry about this Doc. Though if you're interested you can submit the bugs you find to MicroSoft.<br>
