[quote]The ie handling of those comments as conditionally non-ignored content does not change whether the document is conformant or not.[/quote]Yes, it does. [quote]And whether you use it or not does not affect whether the user agent is conformant.[/quote]The issue is not whether a user agent is conformant, but whether the markup is, and it plainly would not be. If it were about whether the UA were conformant, we would have no need for validators, and everything would automatically be non-conformant, because no UA gets it that right so far. [quote]That does not make using conditional comments a hack for the document author any more than using lack of support for CSS properties, or use of broken CSS parsing, or use of custom HTTP headers etc.[/quote]This could be considered true. [quote]You are still as a user just generating [u]valid[/u] HTML/ CSS / HTTP.[/quote]This could not be. [quote]It's the user agent that is non-conformant and not your document/style sheet/resource.[/quote]It'd be [u]both[/u], but you have control over one ? the website code ? whether that is conformant or not is entirely up to you.
