Comment (by pulkomandy):
This happens when the MIME sniffing misidentifies an HTML file as XHTML.
WebKit relies on the mime attribute for local files to decide which parser
(html or xhtml) to use. I don't know what other browsers do for local
files.
We can improve our sniffing rules or change our strategy.
Online this doesn't matter, because we instead trust the MIME type given
by the web server, which is usually set properly.
