Heh... please elabourate on how IE doesn't support XHTML.

Try this in IE:
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/wrongWithIE/?chapter=XHTML&withHeader=1

Oops, that's served as application/xhtml+xml, so it won't work. Here's the same article as text/html:
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/wrongWithIE/?chapter=XHTML

One other thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned in that particular article is that if you use the <?xml?> declartion (or, in fact, anything before the DOCTYPE), then it will trigger quirks mode in IE6 and below. IE7 will fix that particular bug, but still won't support XHTML properly.
