Not exactly ;-)
You know, I keep track of as many buggy cases where IE7 is involved -
that ends up on lists like this, as I possibly can without using a database.

IE7 uses the same engine as its predecessors - with most bugs intact
although many /appear/ to be corrected, so it isn't too hard to
understand what goes on when an IE7 bug appears.

Friends across the web provide me with hints and screenshots, so I know
whether it is I or IE7 that is most buggy.

I provided a link, didn't I?
(is my Norwenglish _that_ hard to understand :-) )

Ok, so I have the following in my main stylesheet...
@import url(ag2c_con.css) screen;

Now, go look for the stylesheet...
<http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/styles/ag2c_con.css>
...which is what the good browsers are looking for, and there isn't much
there for them at the moment.

Next: compare the proper stylesheet to the following...
<http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/styles/url(ag2c_con.css)%20screen>
...which is what IE/win is looking for, and actually gets. A bit more
there...

So, IE/win provides me with a way to differentiate.
- I can add whatever I want to the first stylesheet, and IE/win won't
see any of it. Perfect separation.
- I can add whatever I want to the second stylesheet, and only Trident
based browsers (that's IE/win and a few others) will ever see it. Again,
perfect separation.

Yes, I know this method is ugly, but it all makes perfect sense now,
doesn't it? :-)
