If this is important then send IE it's own active rule:

Same results here for IE (similar set up) on my own test page, and I
don't see any bugs in Opera 7PC, 7.5MAC normal and SSR mode.
Opera's SSR is pretty aggressive and not many styles (if any) stick, so
the lack of :focus support in this mode is to be expected as a feature,
not a bug.

Hmm...it doesn't seem to affect IE 5 or 5.5 (admittedly using skyx' multiple
