(This is a reply to an old thread:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2005-October/016155.html)
I found another situation where HTML mode helps the author to be
backward (speak MSIE 6) compatible:
In XML mode this snippet
<html xmlns="blah">
<script></script>
</html>
will be converted to
<html xmlns="blah">
<script/>
</html>
. This would cause IE to display a blank page!
To proof that this problem really exists, here some random reports:

<http://emmajane.net/tools/ie-script-bug.html>
<http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/HTML/Q_21593538.html>
Now you know :)
PS: I'm not against XML mode. Would it make sense to make XML-Mode do
the same as HTML mode in this situation?
