Just FYI - these 2 exporters are actually the same exporter with just a 
*little* conditional logic thrown in to un-confuse MSIE, Nutscrape, and silly 
users. Many versions of MSIE have this issue where it wants to display XHTML as 
a color-coded and collapsable XML document instead of honoring our pretty HTML. 
What does it expect, us to feed it a HTML->HTML XSL stylesheet? Also, many 
users were complaining to me about how there was no HTML 4.0 compatibility. 
Well, in all reality XHTML is basically just HTML 4.0 and any browser will 
display it fine, provided you remove the <?xml?> declaration and change the 
DOCTYPE.

So one "exporter" gives you XHTML 1.0 strict output, with an <?xml?> 
declaration and a doctype of XHTML 1.0 strict and the other exporter has a 
doctype of HTML 4.0 and no <?xml?> tag. Other than that, they share 100% of the 
same code and both output XHTML 1.0, so the problem probably would show up in 
both.
