[thelist] Mozilla doesn't like XHTML

Hi all,

Here's a weird thing about Mozilla : it doesn't like XHTML.
I've made a well formed HTML page, in XHTML. But Mozilla won't display it
correctly unless I change the HTML header from

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

to

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

It also has a problem with links like "link.php?one=stuff&two=thing" : it
will simply not see the "&two=thing" part of the link.
So when you click on it, you get "link.php?one=stuff" only.

Everything is right when I change the header. How weird is that ? Should I
make a bug report ?
