Hi Alyda-- I should add that IE reads XHTML, so it supports it in that sense, but it serves the pages as "text/html" not as "application/xml+xhtml." I interpret that to mean that it's going to serve the pages as html, regardless of whether or not I've specified an xhtml doctype. Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/15/467901.aspx It used to be possible to trick IE into serving documents as "application/xml," but I'm not sure if this is still possible (or even used).
