Thanks for the response, it does do what I need with no doctype at all, but
I would like to use one if at all possible. I apologize for missing that
obvious approach, I've just been staring down the problem for so long, some
of the obvious just didn't seem to occur to me.
I'll go with no doctype until I can find a solution with a doctype
Thanks

Subject: Re: [webtier] Inserting a <!-- comment --> before doctype in
generated facelets .xhtml file?
Wikipedia also says that IE'll enter quirks mode if you simply leave the
doctype declaration off entirely, or change it to be invalid:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode
Not sure if that helps you at all, as I don't have time to test...
IIRC, DOCTYPE is specified in the xml spec as being the mandatory first
element, so inserting a comment is just a way of telling IE that you're
not going to give it anything it should trust.
