Whether something is used or not does not change whether its use would be valid or not. Our argument, or at least mine, is that if there had been a document that used that syntax nothing would have changed with regard to either the document, the HTML spec or the relationship between them when a user agent suddenly started interpreting it in a special way. And nothing would change if tomorrow a Microsoft mandatory update to IE suddenly disabled the support for conditional comments on all versions. The relationship between the spec and a document does not change depending on external factors such as user agents. Look, comments are never inserted because they have no meaning. They are inserted in order to tell somebody something about the source code. It can be explaining the document structure for developers that want to change it, comments about why things are done a certain way, markers for templating systems or CMSes, easter eggs for users that look at the source code or any number of things. But one thing a comment always does is carry some meaning. It just doesn't carry a meaning in the HTML document itself. What the HTML spec tells us is just this - that comments do not have anything to do with the HTML document. This particular comment has a meaning regarding the source code - more specifically, it tells ie that the code contained therein is to be treated as if it was not contained in a comment. Which means that ie does treat the document in a non-conformant way. But ie treating that comment in a non-conformant way does not change the fact that to a conformant user agent it's just a comment. -- var Liorean = { abode: "[sigrotate][url]http://liorean.web-graphics.com/[/url]\|[url]http://codingforums.com/[/url]\|[url]http://web-graphics.com/[/url][/sigrotate]", profile: "[url]http://codingforums.com/member.php?u=5798[/url]"}; Loading...
