I wrote a hack in Java that takes care of the nasty '<![if' as well as a

It's meant to be hooked up to the input on a SAX parser, and has done 
pretty well on the cases I've fed it, but I can't begin to promise that the 
format hasn't evolved in even more devious directions than the ones I've found.
