Can someone post where this problem can be shown to the IE team? I would love for them to fix it, but don't know where to start.

No idea what the spec says or if their is one that pertains to this.

But if I reference a file multiple times I want the browser to load it that many times otherwise I shouldn't be referencing it multiple times. I understand his issue but it sounds like the code should be checking to see if the library has loaded and not requesting it if it already has. And IE has the correct behavior.

Disagree. By that logic, when you pull up Hacker News' front page it should download "grayarrow.gif" 30 times - once each for each story it appears next to.

I have the same problem. I just wish IE would get all their problems fixed and invest wisely in their browser unlike their past releases.
