Oh, THAT's what he meant. He tried to describe the problem to me, but our discussion got cut off. I've even run into this with demos - it's actually a pretty big deal, I think.

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.
