Remove some HTML comments in a set of files using sed/awk

Question

The specific set of files in my case, are all included in a specified directory and its sub-directories. I need to make sure it does not delete conditional rules for IE browsers, like <!--[if IE 9]> . Here is a sample dataset:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- Should not delete the conditional below -->
<!--[if IE 9]>
<html>
<![endif]-->
<head></head>
<body>
<p>Some content</p>
<!--Single line without space-->
<!-- Single line with spaces -->
<!-- Multi
     Line
     Comment -->

<div>Content</div>
</body>
</html>

This will not handle more complex cases, but could get you started:

#!/usr/bin/awk -f
/<!--/ {comm = 1}
comm == 0
/-->/ {comm = 0}
