Subject: [WSG] "Avoid non valid css hacks"

Ok at my work I joined last october they used to work with ie 
hacks such as _

In their specifications, they are releasing only valid html 
code and not css, and I am trying to release valid css 
stylesheets too, (Boum) I still used tantek hack for example 
with voice-family. And for various reasons, they don't like 
it. For maintaining they don't want to use ie conditional 
stylesheets for example and want everything in one stylesheet.

So everyone think about it, decided to upgrade it 
progressivly to try finding new stuffs.

First initiative came from a colleague who suggest for width 
and height properties :
width: 980px !important; /* standard loving browser */
width: 952px; /* IE5 */
width /**/ : /**/ 962px; /* IE6 */

What do you think about it ? Is it a method already used on the web ?

My other question is different and was about the selector >. 
I am using 
html>body #container for example.
On the source from webstandardsawards.com they are using 
body>#container.
I suppose it is ok 'cause IE 6 won't understand it, but was 
it tested in depth ?

Cheers,
