apply class to html tag under IE(6)

Not a problem, but a question to upgrade my knowledge :

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        if (jQuery.browser.msie)
        {
            //If js is not active we couldn't launch html5 compat script.
            //So we won't bother with conditionnal comments, slowing down engine rendering
            $.getScript("<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/html5-ie.js");
            //No feature detection required, so we do the usual basic trick
            var ieVersion = 'ie'+parseInt(jQuery.browser.version, 10);
            $('body').addClass(ieVersion);
        }
    });
</script>

Why is this snippet not working under IE6 ?

Works fine (even if I don't use it) under FF, but IE just won't do the job. Don't bother telling me I should use feature detection, it's all about css here, no javascript 'triggering'.
