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.
