Your mileage may vary, but I've started to (grudgingly) use a little bit of conditional-comment-wrapped styling for IE !--[if IE] style type=text/css#content legend { margin-left: -0.5em; }/style ![endif]-- this usually works ok for me, but the actual value may require some further

Please consider that a cms is a tool too allow people to add there own content. So the inline styling may in fact be added by the end user. Most wysiwyg editors allow you to define styles for the content, however I find a lot of people do not go to this little effort, rather opting for the inline
