Unfortunately, IE is such a poor excuse for a browser that you won't be
able to do much with CSS. IE only does tagsoup rendering, you're feeding
caviar to the pigs.

Because ':' is a special character in CSS, and has to be escaped if you
want it to be part of a name selector.

CSS is *not* in a comment, that's just a broken hack. CSS has the
ability to match on element names, and naturally this includes the
ability to match namespaces.
