 IE has several compatibility modes and several ways to control which mode
 is used. The admin is designed to support the "standards" mode for all IE
 versions.

 We've been using a standards compliant `<!DOCTYPE>` to set that. However
 this may fail if there is any output before that tag, or if the user sets
 the mode manually with the button in the address bar in IE8.

 In these cases some admin screens may not render correctly or even be
 quite unusable. To fix that we can add `<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"
 content="IE=edge" />` that tells all IE browsers to run in the
 [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff955275(v=vs.85).aspx highest
 supported document mode of the browser].
