You should send such reports to web-human@w3.org.  You are asking
to change the configuration of the Web server, which is primarily
a Webmasters' job, and Webmasters are not reading this mailing list,
so you're not going to get an answer.  At least you should have
sent such reports to www-html-editor@w3.org.  Well, actually they
are aware of the issue anyway ...

Note that application/xml-dtd did not exist at the time of publication
of XHTML 1.0, and while RFC 2376 said that media types text/xml and
application/xml can be used for external DTD subsets, revision of
RFC 2376 was already ongoing during 1999 and the use of text/xml or
application/xml for external DTD subsets was going to be deprecated
(in fact, RFC 3023 says application/xml and text/xml MUST NOT be used
for external DTD subsets), so there was not really a good choice in
January 2000.
