XHTML 1.1 (Feb 2007 WD) as text/html?

(apologies, had originally mailed the wrong list)

Hello, XHTML WG,

Could you tell the status of this paragraph in the XHTML 1.1 spec? The
latest working draft (Feb 2007... getting old) states that XHTML 1.1
SHOULD be served as text/html (or app/xhtml+xml) and this is confusing
people.

I think I recall a message from Shane saying this was a typo, but could
not find it in either www-html-editor (could only find a few reports
of the issue, but no answer from the WG), nor in www-html, nor in
www-validator where I thought this had been raised. Other echoes I got
seem to show this was actually on purpose.

Is there any public record of what will happen to this statement in the
next draft?

Thanks!

note that in the XHTML1.1 working draft (16 Feb 2007) it says the
following:
XHTML 1.1 documents SHOULD be labeled with the Internet Media Type
text/html as defined in [RFC2854] or application/xhtml+xml as defined
in [RFC3236].
