MSIE may be broken and non-standard, but it's 95% of the installed base.
wouldn't it be wiser to take a more pragmatical approach
and get down from your free-software hero pedestal? :)

what if a consultants who intends to use XOM finds himself
working at a customer site and mozilla is not an option?

also, I thought you were all about the 80/20 rule, while
we are talking 5/95 here...

Elliotte,

My Internet Explorer gets fooled by the suffix/MIME type for XHTML
documents and asks me to save the file locally (as opposed to just
rendering them).

Is this something you can fix? after all the value of XHTML to web developers is below zero...


No. Internet Explorer is closed source. Therefore I cannot fix its broken, non-standards compliant handling of XHTML. I suggest you use Mozilla instead.
