I would advise against this because it won't play well with caching proxies in between you and the client. If an intermediate proxy caches your page for Internet Explorer and serves it up to a client running Firefox stuff will break in very mysterious ways. You can work around this with the HTTP Vary header, but many proxies are notoriously badly written so I'm not sure that I'd trust it. Much better to serve up a standards compliant site for Firefox/Safari/Opera and have a single stylsheet included using conditional comments for any specific IE fixes.
