+1
Fortunately, the declaration is optional, as I understand the XML standard.
Right, but from what I understand from Max, tooling is adding it
aggressively and it becomes a fight between developer and tool to leave it
off. He could probably speak to this more.
As for "some browsers", let's just name it: IE. The XML declaration
triggers their "I don't care about your mime-type, I know better than you"
code. Though it wouldn't be surprising if it triggered some quirks-mode in
other browsers.
Yep, pretty much.
