Sure, but as long as user-agents mean quite “differing” spec implementations, those “hacks” – when really needed – are certainly still more maintainable than having n style sheets polluting the HTML (as with CCs) or having n “@ua” rules. The latter might be slightly better, but it's still about having working, standards compliant implementations, I fear :/ However, it will stay exciting ;) Best regards, Jens. -- Jens Meiert http://meiert.com/en/
