Bravo for trying to support as many browsers as possible, and for *not*
considering the "universal ie6" styles sheet for IE6.
And when using it for IE5, you may want to remove/ignore some of the rules
in there: the CSS expression, all the elements that you know would not be
part of your documents, or rules you do not think are necessary.
For example this rule:
h1 img, h2 img, h3 img, h4 img, h5 img, h6 img { margin : 0; }
that follows this one:
img { margin : 0; }
Or rules like these:
blockquote:before, blockquote:after, q:before, q:after { content : ""; }
blockquote, q {quotes : "" ""; }
abbr { border-bottom : 1px dotted #666; }
Or am I missing something?
