Comment:

 My feeling here is that we shouldn't be bloating stylesheets (even IE-
 specific ones) just to support non-crucial visual enhancements in outdated
 browsers. We're only supporting browser prefixes for current browsers /
 specifically targeted devices - I don't think it's an equivalent
 situation. Graceful degradation or progressive enhancement is perfectly
 acceptable, especially IE7/8. Suggest that we not do these gradient
 filters and close the ticket.
