Comment (by retlehs):

 IE6/IE7 aren't really an issue at this point, but IE8 will be sticking
 around for a while. It's more important to have this ability for JS than
 it is to have it for CSS now. There's a lot of shims/shivs/polyfills these
 days — whenever a browser lags behind there's almost always going to be
 better to fix with JS rather than CSS.

 twentyeleven through twentyfourteen use the following code in the header
 template:

 {{{
 <!--[if lt IE 9]>
 <script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();
 ?>/js/html5.js"></script>
 <![endif]-->
 }}}

 Seems like it would be better to have that handled where all the other
 theme JS is enqueued.
