I'm not a list pro and this may offer little in terms of resolution, but...
As I understand it, Internet Explorer doesn't support XHTML, so even if
you specify XHTML in the doctype and even if you made server-side
adjustments to _ensure_ that you were sending XHTML to the browser, IE
simply won't render it as XHTML, using instead it's own HTML interpretation.
I've yet to see the real benefit to using XHTML over well-formed HTML
and tend to use this doctype for everything as a consequence:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
It seems to deliver more consistent and predictable results cross-browser.
Hope it helps.
