Hi,

As I have experienced for myself, there is one clear benefit of using  
XHTML served as application/xhtml+xml.

When developing a Web site with two platforms:
	- Development
	- Production

It's possible to use application/xhtml+xml at the development phase.  
If the pages are invalid, there will not be displayed and/or having a  
message showing the mistake depending on the browser. Then it helps
	- catching errors/mistakes
	- creating a more robust workflow.

It is certainly a minor benefit in many cases, but for my case it has  
been a good one.
