And what was this article all about? I can do floated lists with “float: left” and that’s it.

I agree with adding “first” or “last” etc, until we don’t need them anymore, and my code often looks like this:

/*when our supported browsers all support nth-child, we can drop the third class*/
#product-cluster .product.third, #product-cluster .product:nth-child(3n) {margin-right:0;width:264px;}

And using jQuery.browser is bad practise, which is why your approach is inappropriate:

I’m all for pushing the web on, but if you provide a fallback solution that works for ALL browsers (jQuery), why have the CSS3 approach at all? All browsers will use the class-based CSS, and some will also unnecessarily use the nth-child selector CSS.

If you are going to do something like this, why not just target those browsers?:

if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 9){

$('#food li:nth-child(3n)').addClass('end-row');
$('#food li:nth-child(3n+1)').addClass('first-row');

}

Then you're not forcing unnecessary javascript or additional markup onto the well behaved browsers, and you genuinely will be providing a CSS3 solution for some browsers, and a javascript solution for the rest.

Personally, I'm all for adding classes of "first" and "last" in the markup. It's dirty, but mostly semantic and most performant, and works in all browsers regardless of whether the user has javascript enabled/not.
