At the opposite, I'm evaluating the idea that wcag 2.0 should reccomend to use text/html mime type (and backward compatibility guidelines of Apendix C) for any page whose you are unsure you can grant the present and future validity. You should only use application/xhtml+xml mime type when you're absolutely sure that nothing can go wrong. That's rarely the case. </blockquote> The MIME type given to XHTML documents is outside of WAI's remit. If an XHTML document isn't rendered because it's not well-formed but using the correct MIME type, no one gets the document. And no developer is going to be happy with a document that no one can access, so developers would certainly ensure they are free of errors.
