Those question marks are actual question marks in the source, as can be verified by wget or any other method of making an HTTP request to the server. Those bytes are 0x3F, which is an ASCII question mark. I have no idea what IE or the server does when you load the toplevel page, but given the source we are being served what we are showing is exactly correct.

If you spoof UA string as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)", the server sends as bottom frame inside the left frame as follows: <html> <head> <meta NAME="Robots" CONTENT="noindex"> <title>Deeptree</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/library/shared/deeptree/css/deeptree.css"> <!--TOOLBAR_START--> <!--TOOLBAR_EXEMPT--> <!--TOOLBAR_END--> </head> <script> if (top.location == self.location) { top.location.href = "/"; } function selectstart() { window.event.cancelBubble = true; window.event.returnValue = false; return false; } </script> <body onselectstart="selectstart();" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" bgcolor="#F1F1F1" text="#000000"> <nobr> <div id="deeptree" class="deeptree" CfgXMLSrc="/japan/msdn/library/deeptreeconfig.xml"> </div> </nobr> </body> </html> So this is evangelism issue.

Thanks for checking that out! Over to evang; the server is just purposefully sending non-IE clients garbage.
