Hi Jan,

Sorry not to reply sooner.

Probably the best thing for you to do is to write a custom subclass of
WAHtmlElement that can produce the kind of conditional comment you
need (it doesn't necessarily even need to be a subclass, anything that
implements #writeOn: should work).  Then you can use #addHeadElement:
with that. If you do it in a fairly general way, it will probably be a
useful extension we can integrate in.

Thanks,
Avi
