XML declatarion

Hello.
I try to compose a minimal XHTML doc. I have read this in the
Recommendation (REC-xhtml1-20000126)

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<!DOCTYPE html 
	     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" ...so go on
[refer to pag 7 on pdf file]

So I try to view this one with some browsers and have those problems:

	On: IE 5.5 for Win	:have seen the code and non rendered
page
	On: IE 5.0 for Mac	:the same of above
	Not tested with Netscape and Mozilla

I have removed the first line of code (XML declaration) and, I think,
that it's working.

I have two question:
	1) It is working corectly without the XML declaration
	2) why of his error (if its?)


Greatings
