I thought I saw IE get upset when DOCTYPE was present.  Was that
an anomaly?

                       "text/xsl+xml" ??

My reading of RFC 3023 leads me to conclude that since "normal people"
do not read want to look at style sheets, "application/xml" should be
used rather than "text/xml" for XSL/XSLT sheets.  Moreover, the sheets
in /Math/XSL/ are served as "application/xml" (first noticed by me at
the meeting on June 30).

Is there any reason to prefer "text/xml"?
