  no it doesn't. See:

  http://livestoryboard.com

that is an example which confirms what I said, not contradicts it.
It is sent as html:

  text/html; charset=UTF-8

so (presumably) uses mechanisms to ensure that the XML syntax is close
enough to HTML to get past a browser's lax html parser.

The comment of mine that you quote refers to sending the file with an XML
mime type when it will be parsed with a real XML parser (msxml in IE and
I think an expat derivative in mozilla).
