Could it be that IE relies entirely on server provided mime information?
I guess that would be acceptable even if FF has additional magic to back
this up. I wouldn't be surprised though if the server already provides
correct mime information but IE botches it up.

IE might also choke on the multiple content type declarations in the
page header, but I rather doubt it. Anyway, it wouldn't do any harm to
use .xml or .html as the extension (and/or remove the extra content type
declaration). Not that I personally care about IE or even see myself
using it in the foreseeable future.
