Conditional comments in HTML encourage using completely separate  
stylesheet for IE, so all ugly code is kept in one place and can be easily  
revised when Microsoft changes IE.

Your proposal makes it easier to pollute CSS code with UA-specific hacks,  
so I don't think that's improvement over conditional HTML comments in  
terms of CSS tidyness.

I'm still longing for @required though...
