I think that's a great idea actually. In theory yes we should all avoid hacks but there are a few reasons where a big fat list of the "standard" hacks, reasons for use and pros and cons would be useful...

1. If a deadline is looming and a hack will temporarily get you through it without resorting to the old demons of HTML.
2. To help understand the source/css of sites that have used a hack to implement something.
3. To get an idea of the kind of bugs/issues that have required a hack to get over.

Would it be beneficial to come up with a list of "Standard Hacks" :-)
