ppl who have XP SP2 don't need it...

That's good to know.

Now all they need is a way to parse XHTML with the XML prolog included.

You know what? I was setting up a new server with Server 2003 today, and the MBSA told me that I was an SP behind on MSXML 3.0, but Googling didn't provide a link (nor had I heard that it was actually released)!

Oh how I love this site!!

I just updated. No noticeable difference. They should update the CSS rendering engine, too... I should get XP...

more fixes :/

Better than no fixes at all

I suppose that is true. MS needs to release an update to allow full XHTML compatibility. The XML prolog, <?xml?> within an XHTML document messes it all up... *sigh* If only the world would conform to standards properly.
