Strange Firefox behaviour

See

http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:27

The page looks funny, almost fuzzy in Firefox, its fine in IE.

The reason...is the DOCTYPE tag at the beginning of the page.

Get this...if I write the tag as

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

i.e. without the closing ">", Firefox displays the page fine!

IE displays it fine either way.

Whats going on? Can anyone shed some light?

The reason I am using the DOCTYPE tag is to trigger "strict mode" in IE to get better support for CSS (especially the "white-space:pre;" property)

Thanks
