Yeah, I don't mind, how it's done - basically I set my hope into 
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=14442, which was shot-down. So we lack 
a clean way to define fallback definitions and I didn't spent time in 
anything similar.

In doubt I would use extjs classes (they're already added to <body>) to 
define browser specific CSS, if I have to apply e.g. IE-specific styles 
to make it look acceptable.

If sb. wants to integrate modernizr, I'd be happy as it looks promising 
and basically what we/I need (to go the clean way, use CSS3 and have 
working fallbacks). Because of a lack of capacity, I will not do it myself.

Kind regards
Steffen
