Put the stuff with colons (:before, :after, :first-letter, :first-line,
:first-child) at the top of the list.  :)

PS.  I remember two of the IE4 developers being interviewed by Robert Hess
during those public Dev-Days (Microsoft at the movies...) when IE4 was in beta.
They told him that *all* of CSS1 would be implemented in IE4 final.  Hess asked,
"Even first-letter and first-line?"  They both responded in the affirmative
(this was around October of '97)!
