IE7, loose.dtd, and the default Wicket error pages

So IE7 seems to choke on the default Wicket error pages (such as time
out) because it doesn't like the --s inside of
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd

Our work around was to override the pages on a case per case basis:
        getApplicationSettings().setPageExpiredErrorPage(TimeoutPage.class);

I don't know if there's fingerpointing of IE7 vs w3.org about this.
Being a pragmatic developer with "street" roots, I greatly dislike a
decent error page with a link to the front of the site being replaced
with an ugly "can't parse the XML" page, so I was wondering who will
bend first, IE7, w3.org, or Wicket? And is there another more
generalized solution to this problem?

I see the same in IE6 after updating from 1.3.0-rc1 to 1.3.0-rc2.
I belive it it caused by the license comment placed before the DOCTYPE tag
in the page markup.
See:
