Details
If IE doesn't know an element can exist--for example, HTML5 elements that it doesn't recognize--it doesn't apply styles to it, regardless of what's in the style sheet.
Fortunately, a simple workaround exists:
http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5-els.js
All you need to do is create an element with document.createElement and IE starts styling it.

Is there an example of a link or HTML5 element that IE doesn't recognize? Testing suggestions would be appreciated.

<hgroup>, <header>, <mark> were the big ones for us. The good example was the "Firefox Support Forum" header which was up and to the left instead of positioned correctly. Sorry, I should have taken a screenshot.
