Stop Hacking, or be Stopped
Dave Shea in his article Stop Hacking, or be Stopped on Vitamin has proposed the CSS hacking problem and it's consequences, proposing that browsers respond to CSS specs are different and will still be different as CSS specs it's self is evolving from 1 to 2 and now 3, so this problem has to come to an end as browsers will never respond to CSS the same way even different versions in the same browsers will not.
I think the solution in the hands of The W3C they should put a standard for all browsers manufacturers to use, so that CSS coders could specify a CSS file for a specific browser legitimately without hacking.
IE conditional comments is the method the IE team has developed for filtering CSS files to Win/IE here is a sample code of this method
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ie-specific-file.css" />
<![endif]-->
This method could be a good start for the W3C to build a standard on, any way read Dave's article Stop Hacking, or be Stopped
