Yeah, it ain’t pretty. But if you plan on supporting IE 8 that is the correct way. All this shiv business is wasted CPU cycles on old machines unlikely to be able to spare the cycles anyway, making your page slow, unresponsive and error prone.

I can’t seem to find anything that doesn’t rely on browser sniffing / conditional comments / etc.
