Ok, listen: The w3c folks say it, countless (X)HTML specialists and experts say it; IE does not properly support XHTML because of the whole "application/xml(+xhtml)" ordeal, and in the computer world not "properly" supporting is not supporting at all. I see coding through the eyes of a needle: Perfection is but a "standard" away!
But that's obsessive little me.

I stand for what I said since I am a perfectionist, but after carefull discussing the developers of MyBB have decided to keep it that way until IE is XHTML compliant and it's not necessary to upgrade the code. So it works, not correctly, but it works.
But XHTML works exactly as expected in IE. Like I said earlier, XHTML is meant to work with browsers that support XML but also are supported by browsers that don't. If this is the reason not to use XHTML, then XHTML wouldn't exist... there would be HTML and XML. The whole point of XHTML is to help move the web towards XML without leavings millions behind.
Your analogy isn't adequate at all. XHTML was meant to work this way... cars are not meant to work without engines.
