*IE4* is thoroughly discordant with the CSS specification full stop.
It doesn't support unknown @-rules, unknown :specificers, doesn't correctly
realign the margins/padding after an element above it is changed, etc..
etc..
eg,
@ignore { BODY {background: yellow} }
should, by CSS (1 and 2) be ignored, because @ignore is not defined.
However, IE4 gives us a yellow background (and the least said about IE3's
support of "background" the better).
And should we mention @media {} ?
also,
P:ignore { color: red }
should also be ignored, in fact, it makes all your paragraphs red.

Well, isn't this what the @page {} rule does? (CSS2, page.html#didx-page)
I suppose one could also have an @screen or an @canvas.
