You have different use cases, obviously. For me, HTML mode is a good 
thing including <br/> to <br /> conversion. (I don't like to write <br 
/> all the time, all our web pages are served as text/html for non-XHTML 
browsers like MSIE, and we follow the compatibility guidelines from the 
XHTML standard).

I agree that it should be possible to trigger XML mode without the 
prolog for use cases like yours.
