0.8 Polyfill Browser Support

With 0.8+ being a significant rewrite that is aiming to be lighter weight and less "magical", will browser support remain the same?  I'm specifically interested to know if IE10 support is going to be any better.

As I'm evaluating polymer at the moment I would be interested to hear about the IE10 issues you have ? My (admitedly fairly simple) test apps have worked pretty well across all the main browsers.

IE10 worked fine for me in 0.5 sans a pause while it groked the embedded CSS.  If you had specific IE10 issues I would list them and maybe folks can respond to if things are better or worse or better yet, find them in the bug db and check their status.  

Considering the basis of the rewrite was for better support for browsers that do not implement web components, it's somewhat safe to assume the overall situation is better.

There wasn't anything in particular.  Someone at my work looked at the compatibility matrix at https://github.com/WebComponents/webcomponentsjs and started asking questions.  I was just curious if the new release of Polymer was going to help with the compatibility pieces marked "flaky".  Thinking about it now, it seems unlikely unless the Polymer team changed the base polyfills directly (or maybe augmented them).
