You are not being consistent:

[1] If it had worked fine, it would never have been added in the first place. [2] Sites like Google are VERY aware of the CV list & the modes they're rendering in; it's not a surprise to them.

Those 2 together are suggesting Google knows problem all along and you have been working with them but they didn't fix the issue.

All I'm saying is that we go to great lengths to get companies OFF the CV list. If they're on it, it's for a reason. We can't update their code for them.

May I ask you to get rid of this CV list altogether? We don't live in the walled garden Aol envisioned. Don't you agree that everyone hitting the same browser should see the same UA string.

If not, can you please elaborate on this:

> If you currently use the x-ua-compatible header to target a legacy document mode, it's possible your site won't reflect the best experience available with IE11. For more info, see modern.ie. ?

If a site is on the list and they declare "edge", will they see the real ua string? What can someone on the list do to get the real ua string?
