Speaking of that, for one of my sites where I want to have XHTML 1.0  
strict, I have tried to make the output compliant so it renders as  
the "correct" type, "application/xhtml+xml" I believe it was, in the  
browsers that understand it. This was more of a game than anything  
else because that garbage browwser, IE, has no idea what to do with  
that. I have found it impossible to get rendered output that is truly  
compliant because the FSPageTemplate rendering would always insert an  
empty line before what is supposed to be the very first element, the  
"<?xml...". I haven't found a way to put that emement outside of my  
main metal macro because then the parser would barf and claim the  
template is erroneous. So IMHO there are more problems than "just"  
retaining a file extension.
