That's true. I always develop in strict mode. If you are not using strict, you should not have the <?xml> link.

I have always read that when you have the line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
before the doctype line, you will cause Internet Explorer to switch to "Quirks" mode. This link has a somewhat dry discussion about that that means.

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/

To me, it means that if you are trying to develop CSS based pages for "standards compliant" browsers you need to keep the browsers in "Strict" or standards compliant mode. Although the XML line does not bother other browsers, it does take IE out of standards mode.

Having this right at first makes it TONS easier  to make your pages cross
browser compatible.

Just a thought....
