This is ok with me.  The advantage of the @-directive was that you 
could mingle rules
of differing specificity throughout the file, in case you needed to put 
a quirks rule above or below a standard rule.  Hopefully this won't be 
an issue.  Having a separate stylesheet is how Mozilla does it as well 
(it's even named quirks.css).

Yup, we'll need the "quirky em" hack. :)

Hope that gives you a small overview over the changes. It might be worth

We will definitely want to take this code soon into Safari.
