Here's an easy little PHP snippet to make sure you're sending the
"right" content type:

if(preg_match("/application\/xhtml\+xml/", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']) > 0)
    header("Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8");
else
    header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

Modify charset as required, of course.  If you really want to go nuts,
you can match on text/xml, application/xml, and maybe even text/xhtml
and application/xhtml, bbut application/xhtml+xml should work where it
needs to.

Also, here's a cute compliance hack to make IE5/6 behave properly with
all kinds of CSS:

It's basically a set of javascript handlers that override IE's behaviors
when it does stuff wrong.  Works very well, and you can conditionally
include it so it doesn't slow down page renders on non-IE browsers.
Yeah, I don't care all that much about IE either, but it can't hurt to
add support for it when all it involves is unzipping a file and adding a
couple lines to your html header.  There's no need to be snobbish about
it, even if IE is a piece of shit and isn't worthy of viewing Thunar's
website properly.
