Hi, I've run into the Opera mirror margins bug as described here:

http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2006/01/mirror_margins.html

It's been fixed in Opera 9 but it still produces an ugly gap in my layout in
Opera 8. I know it's a small proportion of the market but I am a pedant.

The "fix" listed at the page above doesn't work for me, it's not really a
fix and it creates its own issues.

Does anyone know how to either:

Serve CSS to just Opera < 9 *without* browser sniffing as I don't consider
it reliable enough, something like the * html hack but for Opera rather than
IE

or:

Work around this bug?

I can post an url if need be, but it's not on the web at the moment.
