All:
One thing I found that helps (if you don't want to be in the business of
coding for all those deviant IE behaviors)  is a Javascript library
called "IE7". Of course, its Javascript, so you have those issues to
contend with :-) But,  you simply install the libraries and let them
normalize your CSS to work with non-standard versions of IE.

You can find out more info here:  http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ or check
out the Sourceforge link:
