Actually, it is the opposite, there is no reason to leave them in.
If you know that some rules will serve no purpose, then why would you want
to keep them in?

I don't think the author tested these rules in IE lte 6, because as far as I
know these rules are *ignored* by IE.
Also you'd be removing declarations or rules, not adding anything, so I'd
say the "testing" part is irrelevant.
