Robert Miner, Thank you for the diagnosis. The reason why I bother sending qs=.99 at all is so that regular IE does not get sent /index.xhtml over /index.html if content negotiation is taking place for a URL like /index (because IE has an accept header that says it accepts any MIME type with the same level of preference/quality it has for regular HTML).
