To be spectacularly picky, both RFC 2854 and XHTML 1.0 talk about a
profile of *XHTML* which can be labelled as text/html. They don't talk
about a profile of *XHTML 1.0*. There is nothing in either that
*explicitly* states that Appendix C guidelines cannot be applied to
other versions of XHTML. Neither does XHTML 1.1 contradict this
anywhere.

The XHTML Media Types note <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types> has
explicit guidelines for serving any XHTML-family markup language as
text/html, though of course, this is only a note.
