Notes

Opera 6 has a couple of limitations w.r.t. XHTML support in "XML mode", as documented in "Web specifications supported in Opera 6".
In "XML mode", when Opera 6 recognizes a document as XHTML (through namespace declaration), it seems it fails to load style sheets linked through the xml-stylesheet PI, when the PI uses relative URI. Reloading the document fixes this problem. Absolute URI seems to work correctly. Interestingly, when a document is recognized as XML (not XHTML), the xml-stylesheet PI using relative URI does work correctly.
