Did you try it ? I think it is handled by the remove unknown blocks option in IT/Sigma renderers. BTW, remove useless comments like <!-- outer div exists because MSIE is broken and doesn't correctly implement margin-{left/right}: auto --> from your templates, it just wastes bandwidth and might confuse the regex parser.
