Subject: Re: [WSG] XML Declaration

Is there any situation where IE6 renders in standard compliance mode with 
the <?xml ... > preamble?

E.g. if a certain HTTP Header is used? And/or with a .xml suffix (Microsoft 
is big on looking at file extensions you know... )

I've seen plenty of comments that "application/xhtml+xml" isn't embraced by 
IE, but what about text/xml ?

Siggy
