application/xml-dtd does not prevent this. If the user wants to read
documents labeld as applicatoon/xml-dtd, he should configure his browser
accordingly. That's how HTTP works; to mislable content as text/plain is
as wrong as mislabeling, say, graphics as application/octet-stream to
enforce some "save as" dialog.
