It doesn't really make a difference. IE is barely capable of treating XHTML 1 properly - you need to do all sorts of nasty compatibility stuff (it's legal XML but it isn't particularly nice) to get around its non-standard ways of handling Web content. XHTML 2 is not backwards-compatible with old browsers anyway, so IE will presumably treat it as it does "real" XML (i.e. non-HTML), in which case there is no particular value in the parts of the HTML spec that they did implement.
