Instead of dividing into different files, iincluding IE-only styles, I am writing a single file that's divided into sections: layout; fonts and colors; links etc.
For the IE-special stuff I have an extra DIV id="for-IE" that is inside a conditional [if IE] comment. This is experimental. As I have just switched to a CMS (Textpattern) this works well so far. Your mileage may vary. The art of design is all about compromise, after all.
