Thanks for the info. What about the option to not display the templavoila 
output at the last place in the html head? It would be fully sufficient if 
I could add another head entry after the templavoila output.

I for my part sure do and if IE would respect the standards, I wouldn't 
have written this post! Just one example: The property "min-height" is a 
part of the CSS2 standard. IE doesn't support it and much worse, it doesn't 
also gets the "height" value right, because in IE a box is stretched to fit 
its content, regardless of the "height" value. Till now you could fight 
this bug with the "overflow" property and use it to substitute the missing 
"min-height" property. For instance with this hack:
#element { min-height: 400px; height: auto; }
* html #element { height: 400px; }
Only IE understands the second line, so the minimum height of the box is 
400px in all browsers and standard conform browser will also stretch the 
box, because they still get the "auto" value. In IE 7 this approach won't 
work anymore, because they fixed a lot of these selectors which only work 
in IE. But there will still be no "min-height" in IE 7! There will for sure 
be other bugs in the new IE, which will at last give us the option back to 
set a property only for the IE7. I've heard of something like "*+html" :(. 

But why should we start with these hacks again, if we can use a safe 
approach like conditional comments? It's a much cleaner way instead of 
writing hacks in your stylesheets. Furtermore with conditional comments the 
standard conform browsern don't have to read the hacks anymore and get 
slowed down by them.
