According to the article, either putting all inside an MQ and sending
additional css to IE8 and below in an IE sheet is one solution. The
other, in your particular case, is adding an additional wrapper (Test
3 in the article). Not really sure which is less icky.

I'm gonna have to ponder this now as well. Working on a new project
right now where this is coming up a lot.
