I had planned on doing something like that if the test worked. This
was just a quick-and-dirty test to see if browsers would even handle
the response correctly before justifying all that.

Indeed it does with respect to the correct tag style for XHTML. As far
as the <style> tag, it escapes the contents with regular HTML comment
tags (<!-- -->), which tells the XML parser to ignore the contents
entirely. It may be that the safest route will be to always extract
these to an external file. If so, it might be worth noting in the
manual.
It does not seem to do much for non-breaking spaces that are
hard-coded into the framework. I just ran a quick scan and found only
two places, so this might be a simple matter to fix:
Zend_Form_Decorator_DtDdWrapper
Zend_Form_Decorator_Label
Anything in the framework that relies on htmlentities() (I see 8
files) could be troublesome though, since it is a native PHP function
whose documentation says that it converts characters into their "most
common form".

I've already set it in the bootstrap, so I just echo $this->doctype()
at the top of my layout script. The correct DOCTYPE is generated, and
I prefix the document with a valid XML declaration.
