The following CSS hacks apparently are no longer safe;

html > body (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ChildHack)
* html (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=StarHtmlHack)
head:first-child + body  (http://centricle.com/ref/css/filters/tests/owen/)
head + body
(http://www.dithered.com/css_filters/css_only/head_adjacent_sibling_body.html)
body > element  (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ChildHack )

IE7 Beta 1 is available as a developer preview from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/ie7/default.mspx

It also has a developer toolbar available as a download linked from
