My Safari 2.0.4 does support CSS tables, but it doesn't signal that it
is capable of showing xhtml properly (which it is). Thus, it is served
4.01 Strict with float CSS.

Thanks Georg.

I don't understand that.  If Safari is capable of handing the correct 
mime type, how can (why would)  it serve 4.01 strict?

Probably because Safari is cheating :-)

I don't know much about Safari - only use it for basic testing, but the
following turned up in my archives from a discussion I had on the
subject a year or so ago.

1: Don't think Safari has a genuine xml-parser. Suspect Safari to use
the same parser as for 'text/html'.
2: Don't think Safari responds with the right information in the
accept headers. It prefers 'text/html', and says so.

Others must know more about this than I do, so I'll leave it at that.

Not really.
Safari's Accept Headers: Accept: */*
translated: 'I prefer text/html'
The latest Webkit builds report this:
text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/ 
plain;q=0.8,



1: Don't think Safari has a genuine xml-parser. Suspect Safari to use

Don't think so. But just as with other browsers, the xml-parser is  
much weaker and prone to bugs compared to the html parser.


Note also: Safari only knows about the five required named entities.  
If you use other named entities, Safari will report an error. (Gecko  
and Opera know internally about about most named entities). Use  
numerical entities instead.
