Thanks for your excellent explanation.  

I have used the book "The Definitive Guide to mod_rewrite" by Rich Bowen.  Do 
you recommend a different reference?

I have the impression that you are unware how rewriteconds and
rewriterules interact. You can't have one rewritecond apply to many
rewriterules.

Apache always first tests if the LHS of the RewriteRule matches. Then
it will look at any RewriteConds above. It they match than the RHS is
applied.

In order to explain better what happens with your rules I've numbered them:

1>  RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  .Windows.*Firefox\/3.*
2>  RewriteRule ^/styles/progclean.css
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/winff3/progclean.css
3>  RewriteRule ^/styles/terms.css
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/winff3/terms.css  [L]
4>  RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}  .MSIE\ 7.*
5>  RewriteRule ^/styles/progclean.css
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/winie7/progclean.css
6>  RewriteRule ^/styles/terms.css
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/winie7/terms.css  [L]
7>  RewriteRule ^/styles/progclean.css
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/unsupported/progclean.css
8>  RewriteRule ^/styles/terms.css
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/unsupported/terms.css
[L]

RewriteCond at line 1 only applies to RewriteRule on line 2.
RewriteRule at line 3 does not have  ReweriteCond so all browsers get
http://progressive.trustedtechpro.com/styles/winff3/terms.css. Rules 6
and 8 will even never get triggered...

Have a look at the docs.
