Quirks Mode can solve issues for many websites.  Unfortunately, there are two issues with Internet Explorer which prevent Quirks mode from being effective:

1.  The inability to properly determine the correct time to invoke Quirks mode (based on the where and how a page invokes a DOCTYPE).
2.  The lack of granular control beyond the domain level without a code change.

The Adaptive Quirks Mode solves both of these problems by providing an intelligent, adaptive Quirks mode that analyzes the code on a webpage and makes a decision at runtime when and how Quirks Mode should be invoked for a specific page or pages. More information can be found in the Adaptive Quirks blog post.
