Due to the different font sizes and screen resolutions in use across the web, our solution was to sniff for the combination (browser, version and OS) and deliver a CSS file for that platform. The downside is you need to add a CSS file for each major browser that arrives on the market, but the upside is you can tweak the look of your site specifically for each environment. If you're after a consistent look and feel this is one approach, and better than maintaining different sites for different browsers. At the time, it was a hard decision for us to "render blandly" for pre-CSS browsers. Luckly our audience are web people who most likely have a recent version.
