with doctype xhtml and using content="text/html; puts i.e. into quirks mode. and using the correct content type application/xhtml+xml breaks in i.e.
if you change doctype from xhtml to html I have noticed many styled elements no longer line up as they used to
I got this excerpt from a newsletter from site point
Browsers decide how to handle a file based on the MIME type that the server sends with it.
HTML Web pages are identified with a MIME type of text/html.
Pages written in XHTML that are sent with a MIME type of text/html don't benefit from any of the features of XHTML.
To benefit from the features of XHTML, pages must be sent as application/xhtml+xml.
The most popular Web browser (Internet Explorer 6) cannot view pages sent as application/xhtml+xml.
From this, it follows that you cannot benefit from using XHTML withoutbreaking compatibility with Internet Explorer 6. So you might as well just use HTML.

I have done a bit of stuff with xhtml and considered it to be the future.
Any other thoughts??
