Shouldn't IE be capable of rendering an XHTML document ??

It depends what you mean by "should". If you mean should microsoft
support current web standards, then the answer is probably yes.
If you mean is IE specified as supporting xhtml and so should it work in
my copy, the answer is no.

IE doesn't know anything at all about xhtml, your choices are to send it
wiuth an html mime type and then it usually sort of works, as it just
ignore syntax errrors coming from  xml syntax, or, more reliably send it
as an xml file with an <?xml-stylesheet PI specifying an "identity"
transform, that converts it to html, this only needs one template
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
