I recently took over an approximately 6 year old site with LOTS of styles.  In 
validating the css for a page, I found something I'd never seen before, and I'm 
hoping one of you can tell me anything about this syntax.  A Google search 
didn't return anything on this specific usage.  I thought perhaps it was some 
old garbage left in there so I commented it out.  Good thing I didn't delete it 
because 2 days later I discovered what it does!

Here is a page for my site:
http://sbctc.edu/college/f_index.aspx

The style sheet is dropdown_nav.css

The style is:

div#Nav2_dropdown ul ul {

                     top:1.4em !ie;

              }

It affects the positioning of the submenus that are revealed when you hover 
over any of the blue navigation items in the top horizontal menu bar.

Taking it out had no effect in IE 8, but did in IE 8 in compatibility mode.

Thank you for any info you can provide about this syntax.
