Initial Description 
Thankfully, Sjoerd Visscher mentioned an interesting technique  that could be used to force IE to use the specified CSS styling. Specifically, once you create a new DOM element (of the same name as the one in the document) all styling is applied. [...] This is very important. This now means that we can provide CSS styling for undefined HTML 5 element and allow Internet Explorer to handle it gracefully.
