Exactly.

Seeing the chaos IE 7 is about to spread, most of the well-known css sites
have recommended their users to use conditional comments in the future.

No, that doesn't work with TV because this is displayed before the TV
output in the html head. To overwrite all other (preceding) propertys, it
has to display after all other stylesheet definitions.
