Erm, I don't think so. I am sure I have done:

value="#if (something) ... #end"

...before.

Maybe I've lost my mind.

If this is the way it -should-be why isn't it supported? I can only think 
of HTML color related issues, and those are surely taken care of now with 
the relaxed directive processing?

It's very annoying if it is the way "it should be", particularly in the 
context of #macro because you can't call macros inline in some HTML.
