The issue with this technique is that several of the most common  
techniques for handling IE bugs aren't even valid CSS. The notable  
examples that come to mind are the opacity filter method for  
transparent PNG support and the behavior file required for  
generic :hover support (both in IE6).

Given that probably 90% of the UA-specific CSS tweaking is for IE,  
doesn't it make sense to serve it using the method IE itself  
recommends (conditional comments)? Adding classes via jQuery works  
great until you turn of JS, while the recommended method will always  
work.

Note that most of the other browsers that used to be targeted by hacks  
are either obsolete (old versions of Netscape) or impossible to  
support (eg, IE5 on Mac b0rks Rails session cookies).
