I tend to stay away from major hacks, so my pages probably won't be affected.
The _property situation will still work in IE6 so that will be okay. The reason for the other hacks not working is that they depend on the fact that IE can't use adjacent sibling, child or attributes selectors so values can be passed to other browsers using specificity and IE simply ignores them. With IE supporting them, we will simply have to use other ways to fix the broken items in IE. What I tend to do is use the IE conditionals in my layouts page so that it loads a bug fixing css page after everything else. All I'll have to do is change my conditionals to use IE6 or lower and then possibly another fix for IE7. Its not as bad as it seems, though I wish that IE would simply support CSS2 as written.
