This is in effect lying about what you are sending, forcing user agents to resort to content sniffing to figure out whether to treat this as SGML or XML; of course, in the case of the bastard hybrid XHTML, you need to treat it as _both_. :-( I hope to god that XHTML 1.1 will own up to being XML so we can end this lunacy. Pandering to browser bugs and people's lazyness does not a good standard make. Especially since it was totally unnecessary in this case. -- As a cat owner, I know this for a fact... Nothing says "I love you" like a decapitated gopher on your front porch.
