[theme-reviewers] Using wp_enqueue_style() With IE Conditionals

[Jess Planck]

Order and specificity are both at play in CSS. There are some decent things written about "CSS scope" that are very interesting. 

It's one one of the reason I avoid using   #ID in the enterprise-ugly multiple sites I deal with. .CLASS is much easier to override and use for creating compound designs while #ID seems to make a better JavaScript target.

I'd argue that there still have to be mechanisms available for plugin authors, developers, users etc to load later sheets.
