From the sound of what you are saying, you guess wrong, it _is_
taking it as gospel. :-)
I just meant that IE will not only read it but use the
instructions in preference to others that can be seen by most
other browsers. If the css sheet is placed last in the header
list. If the IE sheet was not there, it would take as gospel what
is there. If the IE sheet was placed first in the list and there
were conflicting instructions in the "normal" later listed
sheets, it would take as gospel the later sheets... Right?
Taking as gospel means taking it to heart, not just reading and
noting... going forth with the blinding light of Higher Truth and
acting with mercy and justness in the world... Christ mate, don't
get me going!

Thanks for this, so you are saying you use the conditional
construction I mention and it all works fine. That is good enough
for me. I trust you.
