There's a big difference between example pages claiming that authors 
should set the type="" attribute to text/xsl, and servers actually using
that MIME type in their Content-Type headers, let along in the
Content-Type headers of content used from XMLHttpRequest.

I'd recomend only looking at text/xml, application/xml, and */*+xml.
