It doesn't render it, what particular bug would you consider I raising 
"invalid document isn't rendered correctly"  that doesn't sound much of a 
bug report, I would hope it would be marked as wontfix, as the document 
isn't valid HTML - and IE does not render XHTML.

Because it says I should?  It says I should include style references as 
Processing Instructions, the thing C.1 tells me not to use - it doesn't say 
"when serving as application/xml" indeed that would be rather odd as the 
entire section is about compatibility with text/html renderers.  Of course 
it's not very clear, but then these issues have been raised against the 
specification, they have just gone unanswered for years.

Of course if your understanding of C.14 is different to mine, then I would 
ask you to remind the HTML WG of the many existing unresolved issues in this 
area.

Cheers,

Jim.
