I'm guessing that some people won't like this solution because many see
the whole point of conditional comments as avoiding having to use any
hacks at all. But I don't think there's anything technically wrong with
it. It certainly would make it easy to remove IE hacks at a later time
(in, like, 12 years ;-)).
I personally don't use a solution like this because I like to keep
everything in one CSS file. Makes it easier for me to keep track of all
my styles and debug and edit. It's just a personal preference though.
