Following the "first" Last Call comments, the "second" Last Call Working Draft of XHTML 1.0 said in section 5.1 [2] as follows: [...] Additionally, since one of the aims of XHTML is to allow migration from existing HTML user agents to XHTML user agents, XHTML documents may be delivered using the Internet media type text/html. In this case, it is recommended that the documents follow the guidelines in Appendix C to decrease the chance of document processing failure. It is _recommended_ to follow the guidelines in Appendix C, which is informative, and no more. The "first" XHTML 1.0 Proposed Recommendation [3] said the same thing. Due to the "first" Advisory Committee review, XHTML 1.0 had to be returned to the Working Draft status, and section 5.1 had to be changed [4], but the intention behind the "text/html" portion hadn't changed. Appendix C is informative.
