Make the legacy DOCTYPE string be compatible with more tools. Clarify
some XML DOCTYPE comments. (whatwg r2725)
XHTML documents (XML documents using elements from the HTML namespace) that use the new features described in this specification and that are served over the wire (e.g. by HTTP) must be sent using an XML MIME type such as application/xml or application/xhtml+xml and must not be served as text/html. [RFC3023]
http://people.w3.org/mike/diffs/html5/spec/Overview.1.1895.html#authors-using-xhtml
The language in this specification assumes that the user agent expands all entity references, and therefore does not include entity reference nodes in the DOM. If user agents do include entity reference nodes in the DOM, then user agents must handle them as if they were fully expanded when implementing this specification. For example, if a requirement talks about an element's child text nodes, then any text nodes that are children of an entity reference that is a child of that element would be used as well. Entity references to unknown entities must be treated as if they contained just an empty text node for the purposes of the algorithms defined in this specification.

HTML documents, if they are served over the wire (e.g. by HTTP) must be labeled with the text/html MIME type.
