Not really; the DOCTYPE still tells the browser that it's XHTML.

Most browsers have no problem.  IE is the exception, sort of.

Anyway, XHTML is a cleaner standard than HTML -- since it's 100% 
well-formed XML, it's easier to parse and more extensible.  There is 
absolutely no reason *not* to use XHTML for all your output.  You are 
creating a problem out of thin air.

Best,
