Yes. You could even use separate Netscape4-CSS-Files, and inside
these use the "@import" to include those CSS definitions that would
make Netscape display random things (unfortunately, Netscape 4
doesn't just ignore CSS that it doesn't know, you have to hide
these parts from this browser) which may then have any file name
extension you want and could thus easily be compressed.

I would advise against this one.
It might work in a number of browsers, but what would you gain?
Netscape 4 has problems witih both file types ...
