Never include the <?xml> declaration. This throws IE into quirks mode right

If you use server side scripting (ASP, PHP or whatever - not going into scripting detail as that's off topic) to serve an xhtml document in text/html or application/xhtml+xml as applicable, it's not hard to take care of the prolog .
Insert the prolog if serving as application/xhtml+xml, leave it off if serving as text/html so MSIE6 does not choke.
If you are just serving the document as text/html, the browser should not parse the document as xml, so the prolog is superfluous.
