Yes, it does do that.

I recently gave a presentation that included links to dtds and xml
examples (named foo-xml.txt, and so on) so i could show the source.

These worked fine as local file references, but when they were put on a
server, and served as text/plain, IE5full gave me an error "unable to
display XML document with stylesheet".
