I found a strange error with IE3 on Mac where it would respond strangely to the <?xml ...?> if the document was loaded as the default document of a folder. Colleagues have even found problems with <!DOCTYPE> that forced them to break standards-compliance. It's funny that while one of the arguments for making HTML an XML was that browsers would no longer have to attempt recovery from as many erroneous situations and yet those same browsers can't handle a few changes which aren't (in these cases) breaking or radically breaking HTML4.0. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBO6nBAYFpv9f1Mr0YEQK1cgCgikHQDZDuXYeE4bOCMnpGNBjHoyMAn2vT S0Pq47ihLe5OnhBPGylKtw6j =Awtk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
