Kind of confusing, but trying to summarize so I can understand it.
HTML5 new elements can be visible in IE browsers by using JS techniques. (http://ejohn.org/blog/html5-shiv/)
In case no js available, we have to draw back to conditional if statements.
So your suggestion Christian?

line 2-5: conditional html class
As explained in above link, we can use the conditional html class to get around
inconsiensies css in different version of Internet explorer.
Do we still need it, if we use twitter bootstrap?
line 17-19: If the User Agent is IE version less than 9, then load the script.
Why do we need it? Because IE version less than 9 does not support the new HTML
semantic elements such as header, footer, nav, section, etc
What happens if the user agent is IE version 8 and disable JavaScript
