It *could* depend on Content-Type. I've seen that Firefox treats XHTML 
as HTML (i.e. not trying to validate it) if you set Content-Type to 
text/html. However, the same document with Content-Type 
application/xhtml+xml is checked for well-formedness (if the DOM 
inspector is installed). So probably Firefox treats that bad-encoded 
document ad text/html (maybe as a failsafe setting), this could explain 
why it accepts that.
