I guess my question is: Do IE-related CSS hacks cause a document to
fail AAA (or A/AA for that matter) Accessibility compliance?

Hi Christian,
If you mean things like zoom or even proprietary -Moz or -KHTML
properties... no, that doesn't affect accessibility. Guidelines are
subjective in that it's up to the site's owner to say whether or not
his site is accessible after testing it against the various guidelines.
The W3 validator is the issue. It should have been programmed years ago
to ignore most, if not all, proprietary properties.

Specifically, I mean something like this
.element {float:left;display:inline;zoom:1;margin-right:30px;}
* html .element {float:none;} /* IE6 */
*+ html .element {float:right;} /* IE7 */
I've been told to put these IE specific attributes in a seperate IE
stylesheet in order to avoid validation errors that supposedly affect
the AAA Acessibility check.
