The ! character is not allowed in selectors in CSS 2. I don't believe
it has been proposed for anything in CSS 3 (although CSS 3 is
currently a draft and subject to change).

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the hack is W3C approved. It is
syntactically conformant to the W3C CSS 2 recommendation. (Microsoft,
on the other hand, have explicitly stated that they do not think
authors should depend on CSS hacks and should favour Conditional
Comments as an alternative).

me. Thank-you.)
