Hi Luis,

 From recent experience, there may be a difference in IE rendering  
depending on whether you are using an XML declaration at the top of  
your xhtml documents.

In my opinion (though I expect others on this list may know a lot  
more), rendering differences are more likely due to css interop than  
to the choice of html or xhtml serializations.

Making CSS work across browsers is an art; there are lots of resources  
available through search engines from people who encounter all sorts  
of issues. I probably can't help you with specific rendering issues.
