    You could use:

    <body class="all">
  <!--[if ie]>
    <div class="ieOnly">
  <![endif]-->

<div id="content">

<p>...</p>

</div>

  <!--[if ie]>
    </div>
  <![endif]-->
</body>

    That way the css selector to address IE’s flaws/differences is more specific than the normal

    #content {/* for non-IE browsers */}

body.all .ieOnly #content {/* for IE */}

    …and should override the ‘normal’ #content rules and will never be applied by non-IE browsers, since there’s an element .ieOnly in the selector which is otherwise ‘invisible’ to them.

    Still, strictly speaking, no; you can’t do what you propose in your question, though there are alternative approaches.
