Right, and just for further clarification for the good of the list, the
reason only IE recognizes "* html" is because it is, well, stupid. "*
html" means "any element that is a parent of the html element." Nothing
is the parent of html, but IE doesn't seem to know or care. So good
browsers ignore selectors that start with "* html" while IE happily
applies them.
