What are the topics we should pay attention while designing web site for Internet Explorer 8? Is there any new standard,we should obey for best appearance?

A:
With IE8, Microsoft is planning to bring compliance with W3.org web standards. http://www.w3.org/
So, make sure your site is valid according to web standards. You can validate your site by going to http://jigsaw.w3.org/

XHTML? I thought IE8 still didn't support the XHTML stuff properly. At the very least, google searching confirms that it doesn't support the proper MIME type.

IE8 still doesn't support XHTML as far as I know. Passing the ACID2 test does not mean your browser is compliant. I think they have mostly caught up with the CSS2 spec, but are nowhere near following the CSS3 specs.

You should never design a site for a browser, you should design sites using the subset of css/javascript that is supported by everyone.
Granted, if by design for ie8 you mean you will not be supporting 7 or 6, that subset gets alot bigger.

Absolutely agree and coding for IE8, the current version of the worst browser on the planet, technically, is the worst thing anyone can do to themselves.
