I stand corrected. I should have known better, [1], [2], [3].
There's a suggested workaround here [4], [5].

I beg to differ. As I read the XML recommendation the use of conditional
sections is limited to the document type declaration, I quote
Definition: Conditional sections are portions of the document type
declaration external subset which are included in, or excluded
from, the logical structure of the DTD based on the keyword which
governs them.
Whereas there's no such limitation on the use of conditional sections in
an SGML document instance.
