Yes. Skimming tooo fast ... ;-)

It actually says:
Users who want to retain the ability to downgrade from IE7 
to IE6 should uninstall the former before upgrading to XP 
SP3. Once Windows XP has been updated to SP3, users can then 
install IE7. That process allows for reverting to IE6 in the 
future.

as you indicate.

That's because, they say, new IE6 and old IE6 are different. 
I wonder how.

"The inability to downgrade to IE6 after installing XP SP3 
was by design, said Maliouta, because the service pack 
includes newer versions of the old browser's files. If 
Microsoft had allowed users to revert back to the pre-SP3 
version of IE6 - the one saved on users' PCs when they 
upgraded to IE7, and until now what was used to back out of 
the newer browser - Windows would have ended up in a "mixed 
file state," "
