Both Safari and Firefox treat this document as HTML. There are many reasons for
HTTP headers to prevail over XML declaration, so no major browser treats
content transferred as text/html as XHMTL.

This document is rendered in Firefox as "expected" because Firefox follows
different rules for processing invalid markup. WebKit matches HTML5, which you
can confirm yourself by comparing output of
<http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/> and
<http://james.html5.org/parsetree.html> in both browsers.

You can also see that Firefox will render the document the same if you remove
the ending slash, as it is ignored anyway.
