You didn't ask if *all* xhtml 1.1 documents could be served as text/html. But even HTML 4 says that unrecognised attributes should be ignored, so an xml:lang attribute doesn't do any actual harm. > The HTML WG have obviously already solved > this http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/ is served as text/html - could you > make public how you solved it? To my knowledge there is nothing in that document that precludes it from being served as text/html, with the exception of the closing slash quirk which is the basis for being able to serve any XHTML document as text/html.
