It seems to me that the major difference in 1.0 and 1.1 is the handling of end-of-line and expanded Unicode support.  I am probably a little naive in this, but it doesn't seem to be a large problem to either support XML 1.1 or, as a worst case, just ignore the 1.1 version number.

I did forget to try this in Firefox 3.1beta4.  oops.
