Hi John, *:first-child+html simply targets IE7, *html targets IE6 alone.
I use an alternative way of doing conditional CSS for IE and its described very well here: [http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-how-to-target-ie6-ie7-and-ie8-uniquely-with-4-characters/] The '/*for IE/7.0*/' is just a coment, nothing more, nothing less....
