New description:

 as per http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS_Coding_Standards, this is an attempt
 to bring the internal admin stylesheets up to CSS Coding Standards

 Some of the changes being made are ...

 * Properly intenting top: left: right: bottom: attributes two tabs when
 following a position:absolute position:fixed or position:relative
 declaration
 * Alphabetizing css properties
 * Removing unnecessary browser prefixes
 * Placing browser prefixed css properties before the non-browser prefixed
 versions
 * Removing extraneous spaces
 * Applying a consistent ordering of browser-prefixed properties (based on
 length of prefix to get an aesthetically pleasing diagonal line, rather
 than jagged, inconsistent line endings -- yes, I know it's silly, but it's
 better than randomness, and alphabetical isn't as useful)
 * Applying a uniform method to attribute selectors and url references by
 wrapping double-quotes around the values (there was no prior standard and
 a motley assortment of usages)
 * Changing colors to 3-character shorthand ( 888888 becomes 888 )
 * Changing colors to lower case ( EEE becomes eee )

 and probably a couple others that aren't coming to mind right now.
