Docbook-Website CSS Problem

Consider the following Docbook-Website code fragment:

      <informaltable frame="none" rowsep="0" colsep="0" pgwide="1">
         <tgroup cols="4">
            <colspec colwidth="1*" align="left" colname="c1"/>
            <colspec colwidth="9*" align="left" colname="c2"/>
            <colspec colwidth="8*" align="left" colname="c3"/>
            <colspec colwidth="8*" align="left" colname="c4"/>
            <spanspec namest="c1" nameend="c4" spanname="c1c4"/>
            <tbody valign="top">
               <row>
                  <entry/>
                  <entrytbl cols="1" rowsep="0" colsep="0">
                     <tbody>
                        <row>
                           <entry>
                              <link id="foo1"
                                 linkend="bar1">Bar1</link>
                           </entry>
                        </row>
                        <row>
                           <entry>
                              <link id="foo2"
                                 linkend="bar2">Bar2</link>
                           </entry>
                        </row>
                     </tbody>
                  </entrytbl>
                    ...
                    ...

The css is:

a[name^="foo"]  { 
    font-size:80% 
} 


As IE does not support CSS3, what is the workaround for this in 
Docbook-Website? Appears an html class wrapper may be needed but unable to 
wrap a link element with anything obscure (at least to me) that will 
validate..

Forgive me but I am not a web page guru; any help will be greatly appreciated.
