User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Usually when you enter data into a form, Mozilla remembers this data if you
refresh the page or move away from the page and return.  However, when the page
is sent as application/xhtml+xml this behaviour does not occur.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://ineffable.co.nz/bugs/form-xhtml.html
2.  Type testing in the text box
3.  Press refresh, text vanishes.

Compare to 

1.  Go to http://ineffable.co.nz/bugs/form-html.html (content-type: text/html)
2.  Type testing in the text box
3.  Press refresh, text stays.
Actual Results:  
Text vanishes.

Expected Results:  
Text should remain.
Oooops, I meant to do the test in the latest build of Mozilla (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031004) not Firebird, but
exactly the same thing happens.
