Comment (by bpetty):

 Replying to [comment:10 mindctrl]:
 > The menus work in IE 8 using respond.js in the attached patch, but
 respond.js doesn't work with CSS referenced via @import. This would
 present problems in child themes that use the @import rule, as shown in
 the examples in the Codex.

 That's true, but it really is too late to go back and re-organize the
 styles to work the opposite way (of using desktop styles first, and media
 queries for mobile) even if the original designers wanted to (which they
 still don't, despite this problem). So this is pretty much the only
 solution that can still be applied to fix this.

 However, child themes don't ever actually need to use @import in their CSS
 (and are actually encouraged not to regardless), so that's not a big
 concern.
