AFAIK, the CSP engine is perfectly capable of sending XHTML (do you know of any problems?), but doing so has unfortunate side-effects at the moment. XHTML, according to the standard, has to be sent as mime type application/xhtml+xml, but Internet Explorer does not recognize this mime type, and when it sees it, it merely shows an XML document tree. The XHTML 1.0 compatibility mode (AKA appendix C) allows sending XHTML at mime type text/html (and doing this makes IE recognize it as HTML), but there are numerous problems with this; see e.g.: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml Personally, I wouldn't like to see the CSP engine switch its default mode to XHTML until a version of IE that supports it properly has been out there for quite a while, but it would be nice if the default content-type were configurable on an application basis.
