For example, it causes Internet Explorer 6 to render the page in quirks mode. [[ IE6 is the only user agent known to have trouble with the xml declaration - is it not?. Hence I suggest to focus firmly on IE6 instead of blurring the picture by saying "for example IE6". To say "for example IE6" hints that there are even more user agents that have trouble with this. I've tested this myself, and in case the only whitespace character between the "<?xml" start tag and the _first_ appearing attribute of the XML declaration is a line break, like this: <?xml encoding="utf-8" version="1.0! ?> then even IE7 and IE8 triggers quirksmode. However, I think that this small - a - quirk is not enough to in general warn against using the xml declaration together with IE7 and IE8. -- leif halvard silli
