And why exactly is it that IE 5 can't be served the same CSS information as
5.5+?  There may be another work around available that doesn't require
searching the user agent strings (which can be faked anyway, such as
Opera's id as IE).  I use #id to give IE specific information, then replace
it with html>body #id to give every other browser the information they need
(this works best in Transitional, though).

But, if your heart is set on capturing 5.0x specifically...

MSIE 5.[0-4]{1}[0-9]*
