[theme-reviewers] User Agent Sniffing

[Otto]

For the specific case of stylesheets, there is a way to have it add the IE
if statements directly. Examine this code from Twenty Twelve:

global $wp_styles;
...
wp_enqueue_style( 'twentytwelve-ie', get_template_directory_uri() .
'/css/ie.css', array( 'twentytwelve-style' ), '20121010' );
$wp_styles->add_data( 'twentytwelve-ie', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );

There's no support for scripts like this yet (I think), but for older IE
versions, this is the simplest way.
