Details

Here's some example HTML from blog.mozilla.com: <div class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden"></div> <div class="visualClear"></div> Planet outputs the following markup: <div class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden"/> <div class="visualClear"/> This is valid XHTML, but the page is sent as HTML and therefore the /s are bogus and get ignored by the HTML parser. In particular this means that the <div class="comment"> never gets closed and subsequent posts are indented under the blog post. Planet also corrupts other markup but this is usually due to a stray unused <strong></strong> created by WordPress which is easily fixed by the author.

My understanding is that the page is sent as XHTML, actually... Content-Type is application/xhtml+xml;charset=utf-8 <!DOCTYPE html><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> ... What am I missing for it to be considered valid XHTML?
OK, so I tried another browser, and it got served correct XHTML.
I think there's some code in place that serves it as HTML for some versions of IE due to some IE bug, iirc... Can I resolve this WFM or invalid?
And I reloaded in the original browser, and got XHTML there too...
