Just yesterday I came across the same thing and found probably an easier 
workaround:

http://www.w3.org/Style/banner.css

Instead of using

div.banner {
   position: fixed;
}

you write

div.banner {
   position: absolute;
}

* > div.banner {
   position: fixed;
}

As IE also ignores the selector, position: fixed is never applied.

 From what I can see with the current workaround position:fixed is 
neither used in other browsers, is it?

Don't ask me how it works, I just found it doing a Google search for 
"CSS IE position: fixed". It looks fine in Mozilla/IE 6/Safari, but IE 
5.2 for the Mac does not recognize the "@media screen" rule and does not 
  apply any style.

If you think your solution is easier, please apply it. I'm not a purist, 
so it's fine as long as it works.
