Joshua,
I know IE chokes on .xhtml, that was my point.

xhtml 1.1 requires the mime type application/xhtml+xml. If you use that 
mime type you should serve the doc as .xhtml or .xml. I guess what I am 
trying to say is if you used .html with xhtml 1.1 it would be an invalid 
doc.

Will the validator let it pass, probably since it mostly set up for 
xhtml 1.0. I don't know about the new more strict validator.
