Not as I know of.
That technique is good too for people who care for validation, but the fact
that it can't be in the same rule is a pain for maintenance.
As a side note, I don't think I'd use it the way you do though - as you're
using markup (the class) to fix a browser issue (unless that selector is just
to demonstrate the technique).
