Mine does.

32-bit XP, no service packs.
That's not as dumb as it sounds, btw. I use this instance of XP for
testing purposes only, not for daily use. It runs in a virtualized
sandbox, it's behind a firewall that blocks all incoming connections,
and attempts at outgoing connections bring up an alert in the host
OS and have to be approved individually.

No idea. As I said, I've installed no updates, so whatever originally
shipped with XP.

It's identical.
Also, Safari 2.0.4 shows a completely blank white page.
So, even after what sounds like a great deal of work on your part to
work around the limitations of XHTML, the result *still* isn't even on
par with HTML.
Further testing shows that a simple automated translation to HTML 4.01
strict results in a page that *does* render reliably in all the browsers
I have at hand, including the ones that choke on the XHTML version. The
tested browsers all report standards mode rendering for the HTML also.
That being the case, I stand by my previous assertion. Trying to "fix"
XHTML is an exercise in futility, when simply using HTML to begin with
is both easier and more reliable.
