Thanks for all of the additional information. It's an interesting
topic and your feedback has been very helpful. Thanks again!

I'm going to let this information soak in over the weekend. I may be
back with more questions! :)

Slightly off-topic:

Tom, I had actually come across that Stack post when searching for
info on how to get IE to unconditionally load media queries.

I was trying out Technique #3 found on this page:

"Technique 3: Circumvent Media Query Conditions"
<http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/08/10/techniques-for-gracefully-degrading-media-queries/>

Essentially, it's the opposite of getting a UA to skip a MQ; the goal
is to get old IEs (e.g., IE <= 8) to the contents of a media query
thus allowing old IEs to load the desktop version of a mobile-first
setup:

@media screen, all and (min-width: 300px) {
        div {
                background: blue;
        }
}

Based on my tests, IE6 and IE7 actually read the contents of the
@media! Unfortunately, surprisingly, STRANGELY, IE8 doesn't fall in
line with it's predecessors. Unbelievable. Sad too.

Thanks again Philippe and Tom! It's much appreciated!

Cheers,
Micky
