Usually, SGML conditionals are sufficient and <![ %html; [ ... ]]> does
not look ugly to me. If they are not suffcient you are better off
writing separate documents or splitting the document into fragments for
flexible inclusion.
Use SGML as an input format and run "sgmlnorm | sgml2xml" on the SGML
file when you want to process the document with XML only tools for final
output.

The entities are accessible from the command line; try:
nsgmls -i html
This feature is documented. Forthcoming openjade will allow you to set
"variables" (entities) from the command line.
Or go for Norms <prof:when> framework ;)
