I believe you're misreading the spec to drive your point, reisio. It says 'no special meaning' (within the scope of this specification, or that an implementor would have to care about in order to support the specification.). It does not say 'no meaning'. Having IE only comments is just as valid markup as keeping 'magic markers' for some kind of editor (even if that editor's called "Bob" and the comment reads "edit the line below") in comments. Is it valid markup? Yes. Is it pretty? No. Should it be avoided? Yes. At all costs? No. But if the 'appropriate answer' is to have two websites instead and rely on server side detection to deliver the right one - well, that's bound to be more fragile than piggybacking on comments. And it disempowers the user agent. As for embed, bgsound or layer: None of these are syntactically valid tags. <!--[if IE]> ... is a syntactically completly valid content (if semantically dubious). so long, ->Tyberius Prime
