I'm in the process of converting hamlinfamily's theme over to CSS only. 
I'm actually having quite a bit of luck though I've run into every IE 
bug there is. What I found in the comments view (user-display-news.xt 
for example) is that it's the forms that mess me up. The table widths 
generated by IE are not being held to the container (center stuff). I 
recommend getting rid of ALL tables in your content area. The way I did 
it is to remove all table tags and all style/class tags. Usually this at 
least tames the beast now you can enter css as you please.

I especially recommend you edit the input-box.xd and option-bar.xd 
templates found in the modules/comments/xartemplates/include directory. 
Or more to the point copy them to .xt in your 
themes/yourtheme/modules/comments/include directory.

Warning! Beware the float css tags. They will make your life miserable 
in IE. (though I do use them with some success)

Nutshell! It's not that tables are bad but width's are not treated 
properly by any flavor of IE. Specifically they don't always inherit 
parent width right...
