I'll take a stab at explaining it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
should go before the doctype declaration if you want to validate.
However, IE doesn't understand the XML declaration (if it appears at the
top) and thus falls back in quirksmode. Removing it and replacing it
with another doctype made IE render in standards mode again, hence it
now renders correctly.
