[OpenLayers-Users] Error displaying map in IE8 - VML.js

[Mike Adair]

I'm testing with that patch in the application I'm currently working on 
and for the most part it is a big improvement.  The one remaining issue 
I'm seeing is feature labels don't show up in IE7 with the document in 
IE7 standards mode.  Labels do show up in IE7 in quirks mode though.  
(Isn't it wonderful that IE gives us so many combinations to screw up 
with ...)

Even so, I would urge this patch get into 2.8 because it is a bug with 
existing code, the patch fixes most of the issue and we know there will 
be many questions on the lists about it if it doesn't go in.
