Yes, and that's the trick. The bug happened when IE encountered an "input" element with a "type" attribute which was not followed by an equals sign. "<input type=crash>" wouldn't crash, while "<input type crash>" or "<input type abcdef>" would. Technical explanation: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/319488/30/0/threaded

I've never seen that write up before, thank you. It's good.
