The only way to solve that is to send the page with the mime type 
application/xml+xhtml - which of course requires the page be proper xml 
- which means you need to use an XHTML doctype (and proper xhtml)

Been there, done that, breaks the page in IE.

Only way around it is to use a custom doctype.
