[TYPO3-templavoila] Using conditional comments in TV

If you're ignoring IE5 and don't use floats (guillotine bug, double
float-margin bug, escaping floats bug, ...) it is possible to do modern
layouts without hacks, but even then you have to live with line-height and
list bugs. Of course you don't have to use conditional comments, but aren't
they a lot better than the usual hacks?

I wish it would be dead, but the statistics of most of my sites (and for
example of w3schools.com) are listing the IE5 (and 5.5) around 5%. A lot
customers are not willing to lose 5% of their users, when even modern
layouts can be adapted to the IE5 with some hacks or better, conditional
comments.

I would be fully satisfied to do it with TS, but as I wrote before, the TV
output is always the last one in the html head. If I could set the
conditional comments via TS after the TV output, everything would be fine.
Is there a way I have overlooked? Thanks.
