Ummm, since this comment is a "comment" you can certainly code it like
any other comment.  (If that makes any sense)

Even though it makes me quesy, it should be possible to write this
just as a comment.


>    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!--[if IE]&gt;</xsl:text>
>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/~rodney/times/css/ieonly.css" media="screen" />
>    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;![endif]--&gt;</xsl:text>
>

as the comment that it really desires to be should just be:

 <xsl:comment>[if IE]&gt;&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/~rodney/times/css/ieonly.css" media="screen"
/&gt;&lt;![endif]</xsl:comment>
