Differences between IE 5.x and IE6

For a one of demo I need to create a page that works in IE5.x, but I
only have access to IE6 to test with. The page holds up if I kick IE6 in
"even more bugs" mode.

I use:
In CSS @import.
Absolute positioning.
Descendant selectors.
The CSS is enclosed in a @media screen,projection{} rule.

Any obvious problems I should expect?

The page itself is private, the css is located here:

If you're using CSS-hiding that hides from IE5.x but not IE6, IE6 will
still parse it even in IE5.x mode.

Why not change the content of the page to random text, replace any
images with various flat-coloured gifs, and put up a test URL. I
don't have IE 5 to test myself, but someone will.
