An issue that came up with one of the tests is what mime type/suffix should be used? If the test suite includes MathML, then the test is not legal HTML and must be served as XHTML. Since there seems to be a consensus that the test suites should be strict XHTML where possible, should the files that are strict XHTML have the suffix .xhtml instead of .html? This will mean that they will be served as 'application/xhtml+xml'. At the risk of igniting a flame war, I should mention that serving non-HTML pages raises some problems with a very commonly used browser. These problems can be gotten around via some tricks. Since our company has had to deal with this problem when serving up pages that include MathML, we've written up a discussion on what is needed for serving pages that contain MathML. This is a specific case of serving XHTML. See http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/author/creatingsites.htm for more information.
