Not in general, no. Certainly none of Opera 8.5, Mozilla 1.7.8, or Firefox 1.0.6/1.5_beta support this; nor should they, I think - that's not the proper place to advertise a mimetype. >>AND, you have to require no use of >>Internet Explorer by your users (because IE does not and probably will >>not ever support XML). > > > Q: Has MSFT made any official statements to this effect? No; but <http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/15/467901.aspx> (from one of the IE developers) states that it is definitely not coming in IE7, although he seems keen for it to be in IE8 (but there's no promises.) -- Dr. Toby White Dept. of Earth Sciences, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ.
