Why is it not appropriate? What does "appropriate" mean? FormFaces provides XForms functionality in Mozilla and Internet Explorer. In Mozilla you could serve your page as text/html or application/xhtml+xml, whichever. In Internet Explorer you can only use text/html. That doesn't stop FormFaces from loading and rendering the page. Actually FormFaces parses the page with an XML parser, and it will barf if the document is not well-formed XML. Even if you use text/html. It acts like a strict XML parser even if the browser is in tag soup mode.
