You have got to be kidding!  You can't seriously believe that IE is 
better at XHTML, considering the follwing problems:

1. Presenting a save dialog when served XHTML asplication/xhtml+xml.
2. Requiring XSLT to trick it into rendering XHTML 1.0 served as
    application/xml, which appears to prevent incremental rendering and
    makes it exceptionally slow.
3. giving the following error when served XHTML 1.1 as application/xml:

    Parameter entity must be defined before it is used. Error
    processing resource
    'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd'. Line 85,
    Position 2

    %xhtml-prefw-redecl.mod;
    -^

They're just the ones I know about, I'm sure there would be many more. 
IE certainly does not support XHTML; it doesn't even fully support 
HTML4.  It has only ever supported tag soup.
