The possible causes of the wavelength-dependent polarization found in simultaneous visual and IR polarimetry of several QSOs are considered. Faraday rotation inside 0754+101 can explain the data only if one invokes multiple spectral domains, or spectral components with differing polarization properties. Detailed observations of the evolution of wavelength - dependent polarization are needed to test these models, and it is expected that an understanding of the wavelength dependence of polarization will provide significant information about conditions in the core regions which produce the visual-IR continuum in QSOs.
