For a site to get a AA accessibility rating, you are supposed to use
relative units (%, em) rather than fixed
The only hack that I think is really necessary is the box model hack.
Hacks are over-used, usually to quickly solve a cross-browser problem
that can actually be fixed with good, non-hack CSS. This is the goal of
