<div>That's not necessary to get you into XHTML mode.<br>

<font face="FreeSerif">OK, keep that thought in mind -- now, ready
for my next confusion? Here goes:</font><br>
<blockquote type="cite"
cite="mid:CAHxvOVJCEASSbGzrWJKAqDW4KvVWy2t1GyEEDgPyh8a5LYo8zg@mail.gmail.com"> They
only thing they care about is the Content-Type: in the HTTP
header. Of course, you don't have an HTTP header, but surely you
have a way to set it to "application/xhtml+xml"?</blockquote>
<font face="FreeSerif">See, on the one hand you say "not necessary"
but in your next breath you say it's "the only thing they care
about." OK, which is it?<br>
<br>
There has been this "meta" directive in the header to induce
general HTMLness via content-type since years before I got
involved, and I've never touched that particular aspect of it
until now.<br>
<br>
Trust me, I remain wide open to suggestions, but just in your one
response here, you've given me 2 completely self-contradictory
indications, one about DOCTYPE and one about content-type.<br>
<br>
Small wonder people have trouble writing code to deal with this, I
guess.</font><br>
