I believe the current quasi-official stance of the WordPress project, regarding IE6 support, is that for *core*/*backend*, it is no longer officially supported as of WordPress 3.2, but that it *should* still be supported on the *front end*.<div>
<br></div><div>My opinion is that, until we get direction from the powers-that-be that we should formally cease support for IE6, that such support is acceptable (not as *required* or even *recommended*, but rather as *optional*) for repository-hosted Themes.</div>

Hi,<br>What are the general guidelines for usage of MS Expressions in CSS in themes (for compatibility with IE6)? This is an accepted method in the industry, but W3C's CSS validator reports these as syntax errors. Would themes be rejected for these?<br>
