I didn't experienced a such problem. It's just that it triggers
"quirks mode", means certain things are formatted on no-standard ways,
emulating the behavior of old browsers. BTW, this <?xml ...?> thing
was fixed in IE 7. And, they say it was not a bug in IE6 but an
deliberate feature, so you can use XHTML in quirks mode... the idiots.
