Accepting bug and setting milestone to M11 for now...

Comment 5

[Nisheeth Ranjan]

Re-assigning to Rick as per our conversation.  The HTML DTD is being selected
over the XML DTD to handle this document because the document contains "html
doctype public" inside it.  BufferContainsHTML() probably needs to be changed to
check for the XML Decl and return FALSE if it is found.

This is now fixed in my tree, awaiting m12 opening.

Why isn't the MIME type text/xml enough?

Comment 8

[chris hofmann]

if this doesn't arrive then lets move target milestone to m12

Comment 9

[rickg]

Mime types can be misleading. If you tell me you have an XML file, I still need
to determine whether I have a DTD for that XML application (or not). What's
more I've seen HTML files given as text/plain.

Fixed by autodetection code in CNavDTD. The code was too aggressive about taking
ownership of a document if it spotted HTML.

Using 11/16 build on Linux, verified fixed. XML page displays.
