I'm currently thinking about splitting iepp into 2 parts:

• iepp light (only good old standard shiv)
• iepp ext (pp and innerShiv/shimprove)

and then iepp-full:

• both scripts combined.

The reason: iepp has some known issues and fixing those and adding shimprove will increase filesize dramatically. Especially if modernizr2.0 is out iepp-light could be directly included and iepp-ext can be loaded with yepnope only in bad browsers.

A developer how don't want to use a scriptloader can also decide to include full iepp in modernizr. What do you think?

I like the idea for breaking these apart. Shipping all of iepp though its only needed on ie6-8 to everyone does indeed make me a little sad.

so yeah i think that'd be a wise direction to go in

I think this issue is addressed in html5shiv 3
