Comment (by ryelle):

 Oh, that CSS is a workaround for IE6 and older browsers - in those
 browsers, `* html` is (incorrectly) interpreted as `html`, so it's a way
 to add browser-specific CSS to the page. In modern browsers, the `html`
 element is the root element, so `* html` doesn't match anything - even in
 an iframe, because the context of an iframe is restricted to that page
 (styles from outside don't affect it).
