Richard,
I just recently discovered that IE supports "conditionl comments", which allow
you to, among other things, load specific CSS in IE. For detail, see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512.aspx
I was able to use this feature to my advantage on a project to load the main
CSS file for all browsers, and maintain a small "delta" CSS file for IE that
replaces a couple of specific classes that IE handled differently than FF.
If you'll add this as the first block in your page style:
* {
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; /* this is the correct syntax for a CSS
font list, accordint to TopStyle */
font-size: 12px;
}
it'll set the global default font and size.
And if you change to:
.toolbar a {
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
}
IE will display the correct color for the toolbar links. Neither change
appears to affect the page display in FF.
I may find time over the weekend to see if I can fix the radiused corners, and
the broken cascading hover menus on the toolbar under IE6.

I don't think the extra bandwidth is an issue. Dan points out that
if you put the CSS in a separate file, then sometimes a browser
will render the page without CSS, then when the CSS arrives a
fraction of a second later, everything shifts. I'd rather avoid
that.
I am now also told that web pages need to be designed for
three separate browsers: IE6, IE7, and all others. This is
madness.
