IE5/Mac is monumentally broken. It also has so few users that it's
really not worth worrying about. However you probably want to fix this,
so...

IE5/Mac is probably _most_ broken when it comes to its parser. It has a
habit of encountering really trivial invalidities (or even valid code it
simply doesn't like) then abandoning that whole section for rendering.
Be _very_ careful about issues like bad syntax (your incorrect comment
marker in the CSS) always quoting attributes and not including optional
whitespace if you can avoid it. Extra whitespace in the value of a class
attribute is an infamous IE/Mac killer.
