DESCRIPTION:
============
With a tree pulled yesterday, a *local* XHTML document with the strict DOCTYPE
is treated as HTML when the name of the file has the extension .html. When the
same file is renamed with the extension .xml, it is treated as XHTML.

STEP TO REPRODUCE:
==================
1. Save the following in two local files named temp.xml, and temp.html

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
 "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
 "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
  <head>  
    <title>XHTML Document with entities</title>  
  </head>  
  <body>  
    <p>
      alpha:  &alpha;  <br />
      beta:   &beta;   <br />
      eacute: &eacute; <br />
      egrave: &egrave; <br />
      ucirc:  &ucirc;  <br />
      agrave: &agrave;
    </p>  
  </body>  
</html>

2. Load temp.html, observe that the browser has properly resolved the entities

3. Load temp.xml, observe that the browser hasn't properly resolved the entities

ACTUAL RESULTS:
===============
The browser has properly resolved the entities in the .html file, this
shows that the local file was treated as HTML.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
=================
The browser should display the same content with either extension. Indeed, if
tmp.html and temp.xml were treated in the same way, the browser shouldn't have
resolved the entities because bug 44458 is not yet fixed. Bug 44458 says that
HTML entities are not yet recognized in XHTML documents

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
=================
The steps to reproduce given above will become irrelevant when bug 44458 is
fixed. I haven't tested with the extension .xhtml.
