I can't speak for recently, but years ago AOL used to basically install
itself *as* your browser. The browser would be badged AOL, and it wouldn't
render quite like anything else that was around at the time. Now this was
probably around the time of IE4, so I would hope that things have changed -
I just checked the analytics account for a huge (180m pageviews/month) site,
and there are zero records of any browser with the string "AOL" in the
identification string, which suggests that there is currently no such thing
as an AOL browser.

Perhaps your stylesheet is cached by an AOL proxy?
