Question for the IE team, what exactly do I have to do to force IE7 and lower to render pages served as application/xml in standards mode?

Due to the W3C bot issue I've been forced to use the not-a-doctype HTML5 "doctype" and I've been able to get the page styling to apply however not matter what I do in IE7 and below IE always forces the page to be rendered in quirks mode. I'm well aware of IE6 and below's inability to render XHTML documents in standards mode with the XML declaration which is not part of the dilema.

@Greg

You're right, but IE isn't the only browser having problems with large tables.

If you do view source for a plain simple html page with 4000 rows in a table with 6 columns per row, IT 8 stalls out and takes hundreds of megabytes of memory. Can we get a view source that doesn't try to parse the source such as a 'View Source as Text'

@nav01: If you're still using IE6, you SHOULD be worried, and should upgrade to something more secure today. ie8 has dep and aslr and runs in protect mode.

... and if you think that just using a non-IE browser will help you, keep in mind that FF had more vulnerabilities last year than IE did. And for the chrome fans in the house, keep in mind that Acrobat Reader was one of the other vectors the china hackers were using, and that chrome runs its extensions in a full-trust process not in protect mode.

Three countries have now warned their citizens about using IE and you guys are posting about toolbars?

I got a call from my neighbor one day .He was complaining that his browser (IE8) was not working apparently due to no reason.

When I got there ,TOO late he had already switched to Firefox.

The sad part is that it wasn't totally IE's fault.A bad browser toolbar was crashing and ie was continuously recovering the page.

It was partly IE's fault because it wasn't smart enough to disable the offending add-on.

Not everyone knows or wants to mess with iexplore-extoff you know.

I'm not a fan of toolbars, I like when it there is space :) But Firefox plugin SeoQuake is worth that space :)
