I forgot about this earlier, but that's the reason for the comment hack

Nothing wrong with 'conditional comments'
I always weigh it up with the cost of CC code size plus the server trip
for the file, vs. the code size for inline '* html hacks', usually the
latter method wins.

good point. There's always the tan hack, but probably the better way to
go is to exploit IE/Macs lack of @media support.

Personally, I have an aversion for adding cruft that only works in a

Personally I think building/testing/making long-term strategy for a
beta-version browser is not advisable. We will not know what IE7 can
and can't do until it is actually released. Until
