<tip type="IE 6 DOCTYPE switching">

If you're having trouble sorting IE 5.x from IE 6/standards mode, and using
XHTML for your pages, you can insert an XML declaration before the doctype:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

This will give IE 6 the same bad habits (i.e., non-standard box model) as
IE5.x/Win because IE 6 will only go into 'standards mode' if the DOCTYPE is
the very first thing in the file, even though putting an XML declaration
before the DOCTYPE is the only legal place for it in an XHTML document.
