Really? Are you talking about IE7 for sure now? It's not even out yet and
you claim it's "outmoded" and can't handle xml "after all these years"? Did
you mean IE5?

I found a pretty decent article that explains the situation with IE7 and
xhtml: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/15/467901.aspx I recommend
reading it.

Personally I think it's good that the IE people won't even try implementing
something as strict as xml on a buggy and loose parser that IE has always
had. I got the picture from Wilson's article that they're gonna start from
scratch after IE7 and make finally something worthy of the xml parser, not
just (try to) fix quick-and-dirty the current html parser.

Bottom line is that IE sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before,
and it will remain like that all eternity, but there's a chance 7 won't suck
just as much 6 does.
