You mean you don't use the "Downlevel-revealed Conditional Comment" and
the "Downlevel-hidden Conditional Comment" every day? When I first ran
into this I was quite confused but google came to the rescue:

Basically, IIRC it's a microsoft extension to html which is a
conditional evaluated by the browser. The two have different meanings
that I haven't quite taken the time to grasp. Do they use it on every
page? How about switching to google or cnn?
