IE is a completely useless web browser. It does not honour mime types and
simply uses the file extension and/or any client-side file type
associations. Chora is doing the right thing. On that com.xml URL you
posted it is sending a text/plain Content-Type header. The fact that IE
choosed to pass text/plain to an internal XML parser is just one more
reason you should never use IE for web browsing. You never know what the
thing is going to do. I would not suggest changing Chora in any way with
this respect.
