IE8 Standards Mode Results In Broken Blank Page When CSS Font-Size

I also posted this question over on Stack Overflow

(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...8-standards-mode-results-in-broken-blank-page), but I'll add it here.



Essentially it appears that when I try to set the font-size CSS attribute on

a single element it causes IE8 to render a completely blank page when it's in

IE8 Standards mode. Below is the HTML and CSS used. As you'll note in the

Stack Overflow question, IE's also duplicating a CSS selector which may or

may not be a related issue.
