I know there are hacks that pass the CSS validator. But that's not what 
I'm talking about. My point is: hacks are aimed at *browser-specific* 
rendering issues where validation is aimed at *browser-independent* 
standards. Hacking your CSS *and* aiming to comply with the standards 
appears to have some contradiction in it.

Please, don't get me wrong: I sometimes use hacks to. And I'm not trying 
to start some heated debate pro or con hacking. It's just something that 
struck me.
