Quixote, xhtml and mozilla

Hello,

I am new to Quixote, and so far like it a lot, thanks for a great
product. Albeit documentation is a bit lacking, so far I was able to
figure stuff out from various docs, wiki, demos, and, as last resort,
source code.

One bizzare problem I ran into, is if I try to generate valid XHTML,
including doctype, then mozilla (at least firefox 0.8) refuses to use
CSS. The page validates just fine using W3C validator, browser requests
both page, and css (css is linked not embedded) but ignores CSS and
shows unstyled page. At the same time Konqueror shows page just fine. If
I remove doctype declaration from xhtml, then mozilla renders page
correctly. I tried it using medusa and twisted servers, result is the same.

It is definetely something in server configuration, because if I save
file (and css) on disk, and correct link to css to point to css file,
then firefox renders page correctly.

I want to stick to strict xhtml, so removing doctype is not really
acceptable.

My knowledge on web standarts is a bit lacking, but could it be because
content served as text/html as opposed to text/xml? How can I serve
pages as text/xml?
