Using conditional comments at all is an instant filter to identify
one browser, namely IE on Windows, and a simple version test filters
it right down to the precise version number. That doesn't look like a
"huge amount of code" to me. (We're talking about identifying
specific versions of IE on Windows here, not any other browser.)
<!--[if gte IE 4.9999]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ie5_plus.css"></script>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7.05]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ie7-0-5.css"></script>
<![endif]-->

Err... I don't see that there's a difference between detecting a
browser and loading specific stylesheets, and .... er.... detecting a
browser and loading specific stylesheets! :-)
