The ie handling of those comments as conditionally non-ignored content does not change whether the document is conformant or not. And whether you use it or not does not affect whether the user agent is conformant. But yeah, on another plane you're right. The CSS model doesn't make the proprietary extensions conformant. In that way, it's a less permissive spec than a few others I could mention. But let's look at ECMAScript then. All browsers allow function definitions in statements. The spec does not permit them there (and for a reason - even though all browsers support them there's no cross browser compatibility here because they support them in different ways). But the spec makes it conformant for implementations to extend the syntax, so one engine supporting this does not makes that engine non-conformant. It's just an example though - not a justification. The IE treatment of conditional comments is a break of the rule that the content of a comment should be ignored. 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. You are still as a user just generating valid HTML/ CSS / HTTP. It's the user agent that is non-conformant and not your document/style sheet/resource. -- 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...
