Idea is exactly to aviod need of such robust detections
like indexOf('MSIE') and as a bonus to have something like this:
html[__ua_engine="Trident"] span.some
{
display: inline-block;
}
html[__ua_engine="Gecko"] span.some
{
display: block;
}
I understand all implications of versioning but life is life.
In the shed of light of modular design of CSS specification
not all UAs will have exactly same set of CSS features implemented.
