That crap, as you describe, call small specialist style sheets for three 
versions of IE. Note in the source, however, all the rest of the style 
sheets used by all browsers (including IE). The specialist ones are 
overrides only seen by IE.

Sure. But would he and his staff understand? Probably not likely. There is 
more than 115 kilobytes of CSS on that one page, and it reads as if 
multiple people have written it, based on style of writing. Most of the 
main fonts and divisions of the page are assigned in pixel sizes. That's 
the problem.
