Older websites don't have this tag; they're old, from before when Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 were around. If that is what it wants, it’s fairly useless, and stupid.

From the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/08/27/introducing-compatibility-view.aspx" rel="nofollow">IE8 blog</a>, it'll display that everytime it's in standards mode.

If you set your DTD to HTML 4.01, the site may render really weirdly, but it'll no longer present the broken icon. Le gah?
