In the musical note case, yes. What I've ended up doing is as follows:
In the source XML, notes are marked up as <note title="B flat">Bb</note>
The front-end performs the IE fix on <abbr>s first, then converts the
<note>s to <abbr>. That way, non-note <abbr>s are still readable by the
joke "browser", and my music pages aren't drowned in conditional comments.

Yes, but they're hardly trivial given the number of cases.
