Oh yeah--I discovered that IE doesn't want to display some of the pages
when they have text/xml type, so I switched back to text/html.  I haven't 
been able to figure out what causes IE to accept or reject pages when
they're set to text/xml (however, it appears to be unrelated to whether
or not the pages themselves are valid xml).

It may only be an issue with Netscape, and even then it may only be
an issue in Netscape 4.  Right now I've taken the wrap attribute completely
out and I need to evaluate it in a number of browsers to see what effect
it has.  (Formerly PmWiki had wrap="virtual", which is apparently specific
only to Netscape 4--even Netscape 6 doesn't support it.)

There should be another release w/xhtml support soon.
