Which could be overcome by using a child selector in a following rule.
Which leaves us with two methods of using three definitions to work in
(nearly?) all browsers, but still no solution using only two definitions:
div.content { width: 300px; } /* for browsers with no escapes at all */
div.content { \width: 400px; } /* for IE5/Win */
div.content { w\idth: 300px; } /* for good browsers */
or
div.content { \width: 400px; } /* for IE5/Win */
div.content { w\idth: 300px; } /* for good browsers */
parent>div.content { width: 300px; } /* for browsers with no escapes at all */
