I have found that IE4 on a Mac displays XHTML pages as plain text
even thought they are serverd as text/html _unless_ this is omitted:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Also omitting this is good for Netscape 3 as it'll display it.

See:

  "XML declaration like the one above is not required"
