Conditional Comments for IE

In a recent post, I pleaded for help with CSS. Among some of the great suggestions, I stumbled across an interesting feature supported by IE... Conditional Comments. These are evaluated on the client-side. In the context of CSS, it would enable a developer to allow IE to determine whether or not to process a link tag.

Here are some simple examples (not related to CSS):

<![if !IE]>Your browser is either old or not IE<![endif]>

Observe the lack of <!-- in the last example. This means the browser will "reveal" the inner content if it is either downlevel or not IE.

Just read another post by Dare with the XML team at Microsoft. My big question: Does this require the underlying HTML to actually be XHTML?
