IE less than or equal to 6. I'm not sure what your comment about "taken
as gospel" means, but I think the answer is "no" anyway. =) I think IE
sees this additional stylesheet, other browsers do not. That's all there
is to it.

I usually write a single, normal stylesheet that works for the decent
browsers (Firefox, Operea, Safari, etc.) and then make an IE-specific
stylesheet that uses "! important" to override stuff in the normal
stylesheet that gives IE trouble.
