The only news in IE9beta is quirksmode in 'application/xhtml+xml'!
So for example if you place this in the <head> element, then it triggers
quirksmode even in 'application/xhtml+xml':
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5"/>
As does the following variants (perhaps the DOCTYPE is "invisible" to IE in
'application/xhtml+xml'?):
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
Whereas these does seemingly not trigger quirksmode (don't know what other
effects it has):
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
It seems that, in 'application/xhtml+xml', then
<!--[if ie]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5" />
<![endif]-->
before the DOCTYPE or between DOCTYPE and <html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >, does not have any effect.
