[TYPO3-templavoila] Using conditional comments in TV

I don't want to be impolite, but could you please give me an example for
such a solution to the above-mentioned bugs without a hack? For all the
three bugs you have to use either css-hacks or use elements in your html
code, you wouldn't need in a standard-conform browser.

The era of table-based layouts should be really over and I believe that is
one of the most important advancements the web has made in the last years.
Tables (when used for layout instead for pure table data) destroy the
semantic structure of your html, bloat up the code, hinder accessibility
and hamper the maintenance of the page. You talked about standards some
posts before, so I believe you know that the W3C itself strongly recommends
to not use tables for layout purposes. There must be thousands of websites
which describe the whole subject much better, than I can do here. Just read
the W3C guidelines or start here:

Ok, thanks, but shouldn't this be relative easy to implement? I mean, is
there a reason why the TV output is always the last one in the html head?
