W3C Recommendations
I believe that conditional comments within CSS should be discussed more so, than simply pushed aside just because the W3C and others don’t agree, as I feel people in support of such a feature have valid points.
However, I don’t feel this post’s comments section is the place, so perhaps the IE team (or those over at WASP) could start a new post entry, with the aim of ironing out the pro’s and con’s in one place?
The reason being, I feel that an IE BETA is the perfect place to trial it. If it works out, it should be included in the main build, if not, it can be removed before the final product is released.
I am in complete support of W3C recommendations, but I do feel that just because they reject the idea of CSS CC, that the idea shouldn’t be put to bed.
As far as I know, the W3C have no active role in syndication XML mark-up, RSS, ATOM, etc (please correct me if I am wrong here) but look where that has gone.
While it would be great if all browsers supported the recommendations to the full, I think history has shown this isn’t the case, nor will it be for a long time coming, be it via lack of support, or just bugs (known and unknown).
