XHTML served as text/html is treated under HTML error recovery rules (with maybe some specific XHTML specific ones) and is therefore essentially recognized as HTML. It is not checked for well-formedness. For CSS purposes, missing tags should be inserted according to the HTML rules, although I'm not sure whether it is conformant in this respect (in particular, a <tbody> element exists in every table, even if there are no <tbody> tags). In IE7 this is policy, because Microsoft believe that their XHTML implementation isn't correct enough for it to treat the document as proper XHTML. > in some way (and if so, in what way ?), it is > then so recognised ?
