  Here are results of my tests:
1) IE 7 seems to only recognize "text/xml" and "application/xml".
2) Firefox 2 recognizes anything with "xml" in it (e.g. "fooxml/bar").
3) WebKit recognizes proper XML MIME types, plus "text/xsl".
4) Opera tries to parse the response as XML regardless of MIME type.

  I think that code depending on "text/xsl" is most likely to be found 
among Dashboard widgets.
