Just for fun I did
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<blarg>' & "</blarg>
</test>
in a file, named it test.html opened it in IE and I get
' & "
if it's in a file call test.xml it looks like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
<blarg>' & "</blarg>
</test>
shouldn't the <?xml declaration mean it's xml no matter the file name?

That may be true, but swapping DTDs in and out changed nothing. Already
tried that, even adding an <?xml...?> declaration. IE 6 didn't seem
fooled in the least.
But since you mention this, and thank you for the help... if XHTML 1.0
is a reformulation of HTML 4.01, I decided to see what w3.org had to
say. And i quote: [http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines]
C.16. The Named Character Reference '
The named character reference ' (the apostrophe, U+0027) was
introduced in XML 1.0 but does not appear in HTML. Authors should
therefore use ' instead of ' to work as expected in HTML 4 user
agents.
.so I guess that's the way it is.
Still it seems strange Microsoft wouldn't fudge support for it anyway.
Netscape appeared to have done so...
