Knockout keywords in IE8

So, we have a user base that is a majority share of IE8 users (i know, its depressing) and we are  suffering from a binding issue which turns out to be a knockout problem (well not a knockout problem, an IE8 being lame problem)

so if you are using knockout and IE8 and see a parsing issue with a knockout template e.g.

<tr data-bind="template: { name:'dataset-row-template', if: options.length > 0 }">

The offending bit is marked, change to 'if' and all should be happy.
