seems like I've been fixing a bug for so long I don't recognise valid 
css when I see it.

Apparently there is  *a bug* in IE that will ignore subsequent rules 
set in the way you describe - #id.class{blah}  and the fix is to drop 
the #id

must have discovered that a long time ago and never used the syntax 
combo again...
