Thanks to all - the hosting provider confirmed that the web server was
incorrectly configured; it's an older one. The site will go live on a
newer, properly configured server.
I can now sleep happy....thanks again, everyone.

The easy answer is that your server is configured incorrectly.
Your stylesheet is being served as text/plain, and not text/css
thus some browsers are not treating it as a style sheet..
i just did a quick test, copying leslie's code and css and loaded it
on my server - and it was "read" by mozilla and firefox. I wasn't
even going to say anything because I was so mystified by it - but your
answer explains it, Scott. Some days I find these "mysteries" rather
"fun"; other days .... I dunno.
