This past summer, I discovered that IE4 incorrectly parses \***\ as both the 
beginning and end of a comment.  To the best of my knowledge, IE4 is the only 
browser that exhibits this behavior.  Consider the following code as a simple 
example.

body {
background: red;
/***/
background: blue;
/***/
}

IE4, believing the second style to be a comment, will display a red background. 
 I know that IE4 is pretty dead by now but, for the sake of completeness, I 
thought maybe this should be added to the lists of CSS filters.

If anybody wants to give me credit for finding it, they can link to 
<http://exanimo.com/bits/ie4ever>.  (As you can see, I'm just starting the site 
so I'd really appreciate the nod.)

Thanks,
matthew
