what would that be?

shure this works.

I actually open an instance of IE6 in Coherence Mode and drop the HTML  
there.
anytime I edited the source fpr specific IE-compability, I switch back  
to IE via Spaces or [CMD+Tab] and simply reload by [CMD + R]

But I like the idea to manage this directly from Textmate, to have IE  
fully integrated.
Besides that windows would be brought in front automatically, so there  
is less hassle for the preview.

smart select means, you can set Windows applications as a default to  
any file-typpe.
doing so in this case, would mean that any HTML will be opened in IE6,  
what I definitly do not want :0)
