Internet Explorer can't cope with child selectors, so the latter
declaration only gets seen by browsers which don't (incorrectly) put
the 40px of padding inside the width (which IE does in Quirks mode).
It isn't a recomended solution as IE7 will require a fair bit of
running around once we know which hacks to hide things from its parser
still work, and which bugs are still present. Conditional comments are
likely to be a better bet.
