I'm not sure what you're saying here. Did you use html (rather then 
xhtml) for a long time and it did work, but then stopped?

Even though combining html and xml isn't supported it does work most of 
the time. But I still strongly recommend against it.

Err.. So I was saying that there seems to be a bug in mozilla, not that 
we have imposed any new restrictions.

You can test if there indeed is a bug, and then file a bug in bugzilla 
so that we have a chance to fix it, by creating a testfile that produces 
the same DOM as the one you're having trouble with.
