Ricardo, I see your point now. I was under the impression $.browser was becoming deprecated so $.support would take it's place. But given the fact that I currently need to run one method for IE6, I will continue to use the $.browser method.
In regards to conditional comments, this becomes a performance issue where an additional JavaScript request is made on the server and has to download, impacting page load speed. I would rather take my chances with a browser sniff in one JS file than have to load an additional JS file AND maintain that JS file. For small scale sites, this isn't an issue but for enterprise level sites, it is.
