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.
