Doesn't all of this, depend on yet again, the browser maker, to implement
properly? And worse yet, take a browser such as NS4, and see just how
inconsistent it's CSS support is, and I honestly can't imagine how it would
work. Does NS itself even know, just how spotty support it has?

Also, this would block a single rule, but how could one account for the
interaction between rules (for there is bound to be some)? Wrapping the
entire stylesheet in a @compat thing?

Interesting idea, but in general, I wonder if this is really the job of the
standards, to include methods for checking so fine grained support levels.
