The trouble with using hacks is that sooner or later they will inevitably
fail. W3c standards allow user-agents certain options which, though very
ill-conceived, may "legitimately" cause a problem.
The best thing to do is to stick with the more straightforward methods of
css and hope for the distant day when they just might fix the other crap.
