Standards and Browser Based HTML/Script Intellisense

You can now automatically vary the HTML + client-script intellisense you receive in the editor based on either a standards based schema (html 4.01, xhtml transitional, xhtml strict, etc) or for a specific browser device (IE 6.0, etc).

There is now a device drop-down list in the toolbar that allows you to easily toggle between the different schemas:
