While researching for my DMT "Micro and Macro Analysis", I came across a web page that surprised me. It seemed to say that XHTML is not fully supported by IE (should I be surprised?). The page can be found at <http://www.w3.org/2000/07/8378/xhtml/media-types/results>.
I included this 'IE' fact in my "Analysis" but it seemed like a bit of a lazy blanket statement so I revisited the above web page tonight - to try and make sense of what the test results actually mean. I am having trouble understanding what it does means and would love if someone could throw a layman's explanation my way.
Basically, what is the difference between the four scenarios being tested?:
1. text/html
2. application/xhtml+xml
3. text/xml
4. application/xml
And how do these different 'types'(?) exist in an XHTML document? What would the declarations for each look like? I looked at sample code for 1. and 2. and can't actually see any difference!?
Example for 1. <http://www.w3.org/2000/07/8378/xhtml/media-types/test.html>
Example for 2. <http://www.w3.org/2000/07/8378/xhtml/media-types/test.xhtml>

Good point, I also noticed from my own experience that firefox doesn't support some useful features in explorer. Hope one day they would agree on a few more things to make life easier for users like us :)
