My DocBook documentation is currently styled using a CSS xml-stylesheet declaration. While it looks great in Firefox, I am facing compatibility issues with IE7 as it does not seem to understand the CSS child selectors like section > title { ... }
.
This could be due to IE running in quirks mode to render this XML, and older versions of IE lacking support for this specific CSS syntax.
All the information I have found on the web focuses mainly on HTML and XHTML doctypes and how IE behaves with different permutations of these values. Unfortunately, there seems to be very little guidance available for straight XML + CSS documents. It appears that random XML pages always end up in quirks mode regardless of their format or stylesheet directives.
Is XML rendering in IE destined to remain compatible only with IE5.5? Will I need to overhaul my CSS completely?
