IE/Win has no problems with what you've done, but would stumble on
attempts to combine the classes in a single selector. If your wrote:
.negative.financial {background: yellow;}
...then it would apply a yellow background to ALL elements with a
class attribute containing the word 'financial', instead of only
those that have both 'negative' and 'financial'.
