Well, mostly this:
- NEVER target future browsers with it. If you tested for IE6 by
checking if the browser version was 6 or higher, then IE7 would also
get that code, and IE7 could break a lot of IE6 specific quirks.
Always make sure you cover the versions you have tested only, and not
any future ones.

But then again, that goes for all hacks/filters.
