Implement JS to make IE recognize the HTML5 elements

So — I'm going to implement this in page.tpl, so that it can be conditional, and only load for IE.

<!--[if IE]><script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script><![endif]-->

Right now, I'm going to make it link to the file on googlecode. This:
1) keeps a 3rd party thingy out of Drupal CVS;
2) allows themes to get an update automatically if Remy Sharp every updates that code.

-OR-
We can instead include the js file ourselves. That's what Boron does. (http://drupal.org/project/boron)

Thoughts?

I'm going to commit the 1st solution (so that it works). Let's discuss and we can change it if we decide we want the second option.

I switched the call to this:

  <!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script><![endif]-->

I did this. Review.

Well, in D6, all the other if IE stylesheets have to be hardcoded into the page.tpl. (Oh, actually in D7 too since the PHP coders beat the front-end developers in the debate, and refused to put conditional stylesheets into core. :( Really IE stylesheets should be defined in the .info file. #522006: Conditional Styles in .info files, since drupal_add_css has it) So I don't see how doing this one in that way is any different.

If it's in the template.php, it's harder for people to figure out where it's coming from. This is not the most-used technique for conditional IE stylesheets.

I'm not advocating we add Conditional Stylesheets to D6. :P

I'm saying that I don't want to hide the inclusion of the conditional HTML5 IE .css in the template preprocess. I'd prefer to just print it in the page.tpl like all other conditional css.

Oh, wait. This is about .js.
