Per notes on
http://www.alistapart.com/comments/returnofthemobilestylesheet/?page=3 and
elsewhere it looks like IE doesn't handle media type specifications properly; a
CSS 2 browser *should* see the 'screen' in the 'screen and (min-device-width:
481px)' and render that style for screen.

Annoyingly there's no sign of this information on Apple's docs which recommend
the CSS3 media query in the first place:
http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/OptimizingforSafarioniPhone/chapter_3_section_2.html

IE conditional comments can be used to work around this by listing a media-less
<link> for IE and the media-queried ones for everyone else.

Alternately, we could move to a model where iPhone and similar high-end mobile
browsers get a _supplemental_ style sheet which adjusts some sizes and such
instead of the completely separate handheld-only style. This might actually be
ideal, since we have a completely separate web gateway for a
fully-handheld-optimized version of the site.
