It's real but it's been dropped from IE6 for the time
being. Microsoft did post a meta tag that would switch
it off even in enabled beta-versions. If you do a search
on http://www.microsoft.com for IE Smart tags then you
should be able to find the necessary info. There's also
loads of info at http://smarttags.manilasites.com/
