Migrated From: http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-11998

Grails’ default sitemesh layout (main.gsp) is based on HTML5 Boilerplate (https://html5boilerplate.com/) which just recently released v5.0.0.
One of the things they did in v5.0.0 was to drop IE6/IE7 hacks and get rid of the conditional comments, which had some serious issues, making more harm than good (h5bp/html5-boilerplate#1187)
The same issues applies to Grails, and I have been bitten by this at my current customer, which had their domain on Microsofts compatibility view list.

Grails 3 would be a good opportunity to align with the new HTML5 Boilerplate.
