/**
 * 
 * The <o:conditionalComment> component renders a conditional comment. Conditional
 * comments are an IE specific feature which enables the developer to (out)comment blocks of HTML depending on whether
 * the client is using IE and if so even which version. They are often seen in combination with CSS stylesheets like so:
 * 
 * <!--[if lte IE 7]>
 *     <link rel="stylesheet" href="ie6-ie7.css" />
 * <![endif]-->
 * 
 * 
 * However, Facelets renders the comment's contents HTML-escaped which makes it unusable.
 * 
 * <!--[if lte IE 7]&gt;
 *     &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;ie6-ie7.css&quot; /&gt;
 * &lt;![endif]-->
 * 
 * 
 * Also, if javax.faces.FACELETS_SKIP_COMMENTS context param is
 * set to true then it will even not be rendered at all. You would need to workaround this with an ugly
 * <h:outputText escape="false">.
 * 
 * <h:outputText
 *     value="&lt;!--[if lte IE 7]&gt;&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;ie6-ie7.css&quot; /&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;"
 *     escape="false" />
 * 
 * This component is designed to solve this problem.
 * 
 * <o:conditionalComment if="lte IE 7">
 *     <link rel="stylesheet" href="ie6-ie7.css" />
 * </o:conditionalComment>
 * 
 * Note that you cannot use this with <h:outputStylesheet> as it would implicitly be relocated as
 * direct child of <h:head>.
