Yes!
I'm always unsure about IE behavior in these cases, since it's not always
consistent. For example, an extra comma at the end of a selectors list does
not cause the whole rule to be ignored (someone uses this as an hack.) Also,
an unsupported/non-existent pseudo class/element (like p:last-child, or
p:qq) doesn't cause the whole block do be skipped in IE, while good browsers
seem to do this.
