Introduction to Browser-Specific CSS Hacks

While being on the right track, I consider this article more confusing than helping. As pointed out in the comments, there are some typos and forgotten facts. It could be sloppy editing though.

I am currently working on a quite similar article for devarticles, however I will not advertise CSS hacks as a way to target different browsers, but the child selector as a way to progressively enhance a CSS layout.

IMHO it is time to stop thinking about browsers as our audience, but users.
