the example file should probably be more like if ie lt 8 or the like

IE8 beta is out and it seems to render pretty well, no need for hacks

It's way more complex than that. IE 8 has two rendering modes, and it still isn't certain how these modes will work, or how they will be differentiated with conditional comments. So until that's decided, I vote for change nothing and wait.
