Changing the ID sometimes can help, but generally I find it doesn't. Opera
offering IE6 in this version hasn't made any difference on the sites I've
looked at.

Oh, and by 'Maybe one day?' I meant the second of Thomas's interpretations -
not designing pages/sites for particular browsers. That doesn't seem likely
at the moment. Perhaps it needs some corporate uptake of Opera to generate
enough of a user base first.
