Yes. Embed the correct version of the rule on the page. ID has to be
unique on the page so IE6 is correct in stopping on the mismatch
since when it finds the ID'ed tag with the wrong class on it since
there can not be another tag with that ID to match. While it is
theoretically valid to have more than one possible match, this would
only be valid if the rules occur in a *.css Style Sheet. In that
case, at least in theory, the rules could be intended to apply to
different pages and should thus the rules should be fully parsed.
Also, again at least in theory, if you rewrite the DOM text (and thus
alter the class), the mismatch should NOT stop the parse.
