Not exactly, the problem is that IE doesn't know what is xhtml, because
of that it deals with it as if it was html. The same happen when you
open a xml file that, for some reason, doesn't have the mime type of
text/xml

If you want to see xhtml as xml just save the following to a reg file
and run it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xhtml]
@="xmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/xml"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xhtml\ShellEx]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xhtml\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}
]
@="{EAB841A0-9550-11cf-8C16-00805F1408F3}"
