Your correct on the quality of the markup, but you have your facts
backward. It is IE that does not support min-width, and min-height,
max-width, and max-height as well.

As far as I know it is only IE6 and below that does not support Min
and max width.

Yes and yes. I believe the confusion comes because of the way Richard
phrased his statement using a compound sentence.

Consider the difference between

'they use such things as "min-width" which may work anywhere but in IE'

which is mostly true, and

'they use such things as "min-width" which may not work anywhere but in IE'

which is mostly false. He's combined the two into one sentence:
confusion reigns.

Yeah, it was not a good way of saying that at all. He should have just
written that, max width works in most modern browsers. As IE6 is not a
modern browser.

Define "modern".
Does that mean released in the past 6 months or 6 weeks?
IE is like AOL. You do it their way or you use something else.
Which is why I ditched IE.
