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. > Could you give > an example of a web page that works in IE and Firefox, yet depends on > them recognizing text/xsl as XML MIME type for XHR purposes? I think that code depending on "text/xsl" is most likely to be found among Dashboard widgets. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov.
