Comment (by bpetty):

 Having just done a bit more research into this, there's another possibly
 acceptable approach we could use. In the book "Head First Mobile Web",
 this issue is addressed by breaking out the full desktop size styles into
 it's own stylesheet, and using the "media" attribute on the link tag which
 is used by all modern browsers, and a conditional for IE7/8 on the same
 file without the media attribute since the one with is ignored by IE7/8.

 I've implemented this in [attachment:22044.6.patch], but also note that I
 did this from code before r22201, so it's still missing the other
 IE7-specific style fixes handled earlier on this ticket.

 The upside to this approach is that it keeps the approach of mobile styles
 first, but the downside is that any responsive styles defined for screens
 between the smallest and largest still need to be duplicated in the
 desktop.css file just like they are in ie.css in r22201.
