Maybe Chora puts out an XML content type header, or something, that makes IE think this is XML (as it is not). I can't see the source, as IE just denies to show the source in such cases saying "The XML source file is unavailable for viwing). Please ask, if more information is needed IE is a completely useless web browser.

That's why 75% of our users and like 90% of the Web uses it, eh? :)

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.
