True, but this is specific to Firefox given that IE doesn't support
XHTML.  The reason I stated "for all intents
and purposes, anyway" is two fold,

* Each browser is different in how it handles the output instruction.
* As Abel points out, the transformation is directly to a DOM object, so
while html, xml, and text have significant meaning when outputting to a
stream (file stream, response stream, or any other type of stream),
regardless of what the output format is, you are still going to be left
working with a DOM object as a result.

Which is why I pointed out,

My point for stating this was based on the fact that after starting at the
beginning of the thread and working down a bit, I realized this wasn't
related, so instead of spending my time reading through each and every
entry searching for a problem, it seemed like a good idea to simply ask
what the problem was.
