I think my question was misunderstood. I'm not asking about detecting
browser versions.

I want to test if the current browser has native support for a
particular kind of CSS selector. My previous example was the :first-
child pseudo selector that isn't supported in IE6, but is supported in
most other browsers. Another example would be "ul > li", which selects
only "li" elements that are immediate children of a ul.

Anyone have some ideas on how this could be implemented?
