I said true xhtml rather than xml as you see from your quote above. You
could also include IE5 and all lower IEs if you wish but it hardly
would seem necessary if the IE6 does not support true xhtml. The
article quoted just below and many other reports confirm that IE7 will
not support true xhtml based on the mime type application/xhtml+xml. Of
course there could be a last minute change, but considering that the
browser would require extreme rewriting, this seem to be highly
unlikely unless the introduction of the IE7 id delayed for many months
and Microsoft perhaps hires some people away from Mozilla and Opera who
have experience in introduction of true xhtml.
